Golden Age 2515-N, bright nickel, slotted headstocks

Unique 3-on-plate tuning machines, as produced by Waverly in the World War I era and through the 1920s. I had a set like these on my c1930 Washburn 5201.

These Golden Age replicas were chosen for Martin's 000-28K Authentic 1921 reissue guitar, featuring unique 'worm-under-post' configuration (a popular style for the era).

'Mouse ear' steel baseplates with square worm supports, hatched lines, and fleur-de-lis (lily) engravings are a distinctive motif of early Waverly tuners.

Golden Age tuners are the rebirth of popular early 20th-Century open-gear tuning machine designs. Replacements for the originals have long been sought by collectors and luthiers to restore older guitars and improve their tuning. They're ideal for adding an authentic vintage touch to reproduction instruments.
