Gotoh SG381 MGT Locking Tuning Keys — 3 +4 , 07 Button, (SG381MGT-GOLD)
The Gotoh SG381 MGTis a set of 7 locking tuning keys in a 3 + 4 configuration with Gotoh 07 style buttons, gold finish. Built in Japan to Gotoh's precision engineering standards, the SG381 MGT features a 16:1 gear ratio, traditional thumbwheel Magnum Lock mechanism, non-staggered uniform 20mm posts accommodating headstock thickness up to 15mm, and a 10mm shaft hole requirement. Includes screw-in bushings, washers and fixing screws. Gold is the correct finish for instruments with gold hardware specification — Les Paul Standard, Custom and Traditional models with gold bridge, tailpiece and hardware, and any 3 + 4 instrument where gold hardware continuity across the full instrument is a priority. The SG381 MGT is the 07 button variant in Gotoh's MGT locking range, offering a contemporary rounded button aesthetic with the same proven thumbwheel locking mechanism as the SG301 MGT. Before ordering, verify your headstock's existing bushing hole diameter (must be 10mm) and confirm base plate dimensions against the technical diagram provided.
Angkor Music — SG381 07 Button vs SG301 01 Button in Gold: Which Suits Your Instrument?
We stock both the SG381 MGT and SG301 MGT in gold finish, and the decision between them is purely about button style. Both use identical MGT thumbwheel locking, and the same 10mm bushing hole requirement. The SG381-GOLD uses the Gotoh 07 button — a contemporary rounded profile. The SG301-MGT-GOLD uses the Gotoh 01 button — a classic oval Rotomatic profile that closely matches the gold Grover 102 Rotomatics fitted as standard on Gibson Les Paul Standard, Custom and Traditional models. For players replacing factory gold Grover Rotomatics on a Les Paul who want the headstock to retain its original appearance, the SG301-MGT-GOLD's 01 button is the closer visual match. For players who prefer a modern rounded button on a gold hardware instrument — or who are fitting gold tuners to a non-Gibson instrument where the 01 button profile has no specific reference — the SG381-GOLD is the correct choice. Gold hardware on a premium instrument is a complete aesthetic statement, and maintaining finish continuity matters. Both are available at Angkor Music — contact us if you want to discuss button style options before ordering.
