Graph Tech

collapse expand iconDescription

The Graph Tech 7-string Ratio 4+3 electric guitar locking machine heads incorporate different string gauges into the tuning equation. Graph Tech balanced the gear ratios to each string, simplifying the tuning process. With Ratio, a half turn is a semi-tone. Every string reacts the same to any tuning adjustments, delivering predictable, precise tuning on every string. The Graph Tech PRL-8521 is a right-handed set of locking Ratio calibrated machine heads for electric guitars that use 4 x 3 tuner configuration. It fits many Gibson, Epiphone and PRS-style guitars, and any other guitar with a 4+3 headstock.

It has a two-pin casing that can be used as is, or with Graph Tech’s InvisoMatch mounting plates. Four different sets of InvisoMatch mounting plates in brushed aluminum are included to make installation on most guitars fast and accurate by using your existing screw mounting holes.

    I bought two sets of these. They work amazing but there is an issue with the bushings. They are extremely fragile. Mine snapped in half. I sent it back to manufacturer as a flaw. They were horrible. They made me buy a replacement. Bad business practice. I will never buy this again.

    Will these fit on a Jackson JS22-7?

    ​No, they won't. The Jackson JS22-7 Dinky features a 3+4 headstock configuration (three tuning machines on the bass side and four on the treble side) . Therefore, the Graph Tech 7-String Ratio 4+3 Electric Locking Tuning Machine Heads (PRL-8521), designed for a 4+3 configuration, would not match this layout. For the JS22-7's 3+4 headstock, Graph Tech offers the PRL-8621 model, specifically designed for this configuration. .​
