We can also work to a customer's drawing to produce plates with custom dimensions. This is useful where tuners are being replaced.

 

Buttons

• Oval Pattern
• Kidney Pattern
• Traditional Pattern
• Tulip or Mitre

Buttons of four different patterns and in a range of materials can be fitted.

These machine heads are fitted as standard with oval pattern real light or dark Mother-of-Pearl buttons.

As an option, 'oval' or 'kidney' pattern buttons of synthetic ivory or polished hardwoods can also be fitted. Traditional pattern buttons are supplied in synthetic ivory only. Tulip or Mitre pattern buttons in Mother-of-pearl are fitted where the String Roller spacing is too small for normal sized buttons.

Side-plate Materials

• Brass
• Nickel Silver
• Sterling Silver

The standard material for the side-plates used on Rodgers Tuners is brass and as an option, this can also be Nickel Silver. However, for that extra-special instrument, hallmarked solid Sterling Silver side-plates and silver bearing brackets can also be supplied.

Brass and Nickel silver side-plates are finished with a fine satin sheen to the plate surface and highly polished ends and chamfered edges.

The Sterling Silver sets are finished with a high lustre gloss finish all over.

The standard side-plate dimensions are shown on the drawings linked to below.

Side-plates Styles

Although this style of tuners is supplied as standard for a six string guitar, it is also ideal for guitars with more than the standard 6 strings (Multi-stringers), for example 7, 8, 10 and 12 stringers. Any combination of mechanisms can be produced per side-plate & in conjunction with the 'single gear units', this offers an almost limitless scope for headstock design.

 When a set of tuners has a large number of mechanisms, weight can start to become an issue.  With the Hauser style, the deep scallops help to significantly reduce the overall weight. 

When used with either wooden or alternative ivory buttons, the weight can be further controlled.

 

Engraving & Artwork

The Side-plates are engraved to a high quality in our own workshop and there is a huge variety of artistic designs to choose from. This range is being continually extended as new designs are created. To see a small selection of the designs available, please look at the photos we have on the Gallery page.
