Grover's Rotomatic machine heads are superbly-designed to do one job and do it well - precisely adjust the tuning of guitar strings, and keep them where you put them. These 205C12's are no exception to the rule. I had my luthier install them on my Danelectro Classic 12-string (along with a custom bone nut), and the difference those two mods made to the tunability and sustain of my guitar is compelling. The original, factory Danelectro tuners are chrome-plated, pot-metal crap. They slip contantly. The Grovers, by contrast, stay EXACTLY where I put them. My guitar stays in tune, and adjusting it (for changing humidity and temperature) is quick, easy, and painless. I sure can't say the same for my Dano's factory equipment. Now, admittedly, a lot of the improvement is due to the new, bespoke bone nut. All Danelectro guitars ship with an aluminum nut that is an incredible obstacle to tuning, because of sticktion between the metal strings and the metal nut. (Aluminum, in particular, is a terrible choice for this application, because, like titanium, it galls in metal-on-metal contact applications - which is to say that the two metals tear microscopic chunks out of one another at their point of mutual contact.) The standard, aluminum nut also almost guarantees that you WILL break strings at the nut. The custom bone nut completely eliminates both issues. The Grover tuners add the bonus that the strings stay where you put 'em, once they stretch out. And the 205C12's are RESPONSIVE. Turning them either direction immediately and smoothly changes your strings' tuning. With a 14-1 gear ratio, you can tune VERY precisely. The 205C12's (and their nickel-platec cousins the 205N12's) feature minii buttons, so there's enough room between them to keep you from accidentally knocking a neighboring string out of tune while you're adjusting them. I can't recommend this product highly enough. If you're not sure whether they're going to be an improvement over your guitar's factory tuners, I'm here to tell you that you needn't worry. These are a great upgrade for your axe, and they'll help you fall in love with your guitar all over again.Read full review

They fit Cozart 12 string Tele type guitars as far as post hole size and length. New holes must be drilled for the screws on the back, but these Grovers cover them up, looks great. The mini size makes tuning a lot easier to grip them on closely spaced tuners. Good tuners and be assured ed they are authentic Grovers.

They worked perfectly for my new 12 string build. They have precise tuning and Grover has been a product I've used for many years and many guitar builds. Great product.

Just installed these on my Alvarez 5054... a little bit of honing and drilling, but worth every bit of work. The guitar tunes and holds tune better than ever. Included a picture of front back and old tuners.
