Step back to 1956—Elvis is still regional, Gibson’s in full stride, and Kluson is quietly perfecting the gears that would turn rock and roll. These gold-plated single-line tuners bear the “PAT. APPLD.” stamp, marking that brief and sacred transition between the earliest no-mark and the later patent-number era.

This is as close to time travel as it gets. Brilliant plating, untouched keystone button that haven’t seen a day of shrink or crumble, and shafts so clean they still shine like they did under Kalamazoo’s fluorescent hum.

If you’re restoring a Les Paul Custom, ES-295, or high-end archtop that deserves its crown back, this is your tuner. Smooth action, flawless condition, and just enough history to make you stop mid-polish and smile.

This is just one tuner.
