Shaft lengths of 7-strings tuner sets
The Gotoh and Schaller locking tuners are available with different shaft lengths. The Gotoh standard length is the Long-shaft is 20mm, the Short-shaft is 18,5mm and Extra-long shaft is 21,5mm. Why do the manufacturers different shaft lengths? If the 7 in line guitar's headstock is parallel to the fingerboard then shorter shaft tuners recommended for the high 3-4 strings than the rest of bass strings. In this case the higher strings has a larger angle breakage at the nut. The other reason of the different shaft lengths is the thickness of the headstock. Some guitars has so thick headstock and able to use only the Extra-long shaft MG-T locking tuners. We recommend to measure your old tuner's shaft length before order your new mechanics for your guitar!
