Slotted Headstock Tuner winding direction
I understand the concept of re-stringing Slotted Headstocks, but I’m pricing something in every single video:
It appears that all of the tuners (E-A-D) and (g-b-e) all turn the same direction? On all of my other Acoustics this is obviously NOT the case: The Top facing Tuners turn Clockwise while the Bottom tuners turn Counter clockwise. Can anyone speak to this? |
All strings should wind over the top of each post.

Yep, that’s how they are and it’s a mystery to me. With the buttons facing the direction they do, I’d expect them to mimic old style friction tuners where the basses turn clockwise and the trebles turn counter clockwise. |
On solid headstocks the base strings wind (tighten) counter clockwise around the posts. The treble side wind clockwise around the posts.
Slotted headstock strings all tighten the same direction on the posts. |

I’m curious why they have been designed in this fashion. It lends to the numerous other forum questions that start “I’ve restrung the wrong way, does it matter?” |
