Chrome-Plate &
Gold Tuners
In mid-2003, we began installing custom Taylor Tuners on steel-string models in the 300 Series and up. The Taylor Tuners continue the industry-leading 18:1 gear ratio that we’ve been using, yet yield even greater precision with the help of a manufacturing process that employs the same gear-cutting machines used by Swiss watchmakers. The more precisely-machined gears virtually eliminate the slight "slop", or slack, typical among tuners, which makes it even easier for Taylor owners to get–and stay–in tune. Taylor Tuners also feature an elegant aesthetic touch: our logo cleanly etched on the back. Available in chrome- or gold-plated, depending on the series.

12-String Mini Tuners
Taylor 12-strings feature the gold-plated and chrome-plated Taylor "mini" Tuners. The smaller size of the "minis" offsets the added weight of twice the number of tuners, resulting in a balanced guitar and preventing it from becoming top heavy.

Ebonoid Buttons
Taylor has upgraded the ebony buttons we use on tuners for the 900 and Presentation Series, and DDSM steel-string models, to a more resilient compound of synthetic material and ebony shavings. The "ebonoid" buttons can be precisely molded to fit more securely around the tuner, are less susceptible to cracking (which can result from dry conditions), and visually, retain the grain and overall look of ebony.

Nylon Series Tuners
For all of our Nylon Series and nylon-string DDSM models, Taylor guitars use Ping Classical Gold tuners with Ivoroid buttons. The slotted peghead design is accented by the artful and functional design of these classical tuners.
