Gotoh SG381-07 MGT Magnum Lock Traditional Tuning Key - Individual Left Hand / Reverse Headstock (Black)
Replace or custom-configure your guitar's tuning setup with the single Gotoh SG381-07 MGT Magnum Lock Traditional Individual Tuning Key in Pure Black. Designed in a left-hand orientation, this single tuner unit is ideal for left-handed 6-in-line guitars or as a reverse headstock tuner for right-handed electric guitars.

Angkor Music Technical Evaluation: MGT Rear Thumbwheel Clamp & 20mm Tall Post
The Gotoh MGT system features a traditional rear thumbwheel locking mechanism that locks the string firmly in place with an internal pin. This eliminates the need for multiple post wraps, vastly improving tuning recovery after heavy string bending or aggressive tremolo action. Built with a **20mm tall post** (measured from base to string hole center), this non-staggered key provides uniform height and optimal string angle. It installs cleanly into standard **10mm (13/32") peghead holes** and fits headstocks up to 15.5mm thick.
Performance Standards: Workshop Inspection & Fitment Verification
At Angkor Music, our guitar technicians inspect all individual hardware components prior to dispatch. Gear & Thread Check: We verify the smooth operation of the 16:1 gear ratio and thumbwheel locking threads. Fitment Guidance: Standard 10mm headstock peg holes are required. Before mounting, ensure your headstock thickness does not exceed 15.5mm for full engagement of the screw-in bushing.
