A lot of people don't know the difference among the years of these pat pend tuners...the very best rotomatics are 1958-60 (like this set!), and much better quality than the later years.  Why are these still here at this price???? Restore your Martin or archtop with the best of the best from my personal collection. This is a no-issues set!


This is as good as it gets for Grover Pat Pend collecting!  DOME END CAPS ON THE WORM SCREWS!!  Beautiful chrome set with correct 1959 features..

This is an impossibly rare set of 1959 chrome Grover Pat Pend tuners.  Complete all original set is in excellent -almost stunning- condition. For 3+ 3 headstocks....from my personal collection!   Comes with the early 1959 variant of the small "Les Paul" washers. All original matched parts...vintage excellent condition.

 The set is perfectly matched...no orphan parts.

Correct characteristics for 1959 include the PAT PEND lettering in an outer circle and finished metal ends of the worms screws as shown in pic 1 and the last 3 pics.

Super smooth tuning action.  No issues.  Structurally in great condition.  Set the tension screws in the buttons for as loose or firm action as you prefer.  This set is in perfect working order. This is the best I have. Some light normal handling wear but this is as clean a set as I have ever seen!

 

Excellent usa vintage quality that is unsurpassed. If your vintage archtop or electric had Klusons and was routed out for Grovers, don’t go back to poor working Klusons….keep it vintage-correct with Grover PAT PENDS.
