KO-GA is a traditional Japanese term meaning outstanding elegance.
After carefully reviewing the architecture of classical tuners, the team at Gotoh came up with a new bearing structure that keeps the string post perfectly centered inside the peg head hole. This advancement provides a frictionless feel and ensures long-term durability. Machined from brass, stainless steel, and aluminum, The KO-GA KG02-C tuning key is made with such precision that no movable part has any room for play, giving accurate and stable tuning with every turn! The gears, bearings, and worm sleeves are coated in Gotoh's patented X-finish, helping to prevent corrosion and adding lubricity to the moving parts of the tuner. This key also utilizes Gotoh’s patented Rock-Solid post technology, adding more stability between the string post and bass plate, maximizing tonal transfer and overall resonance! In addition, the KG02-C is a single tuner design as opposed to traditional classical tuners that share a plate, allowing these tuners to be used on various post spacings. KO-GA tuners set a new standard of excellence in the world of guitar tuners and are perfect for those looking to upgrade or build a high-end instrument!
