Hipshot Guitar Tuner Upgrade Kit Closed Nickel, HS6K2EL0N

The Hipshot HS6K2EL0N Guitar Tuner Upgrade Kit is designed for players who demand precise tuning stability without permanently modifying their instrument. Built for 3+3 headstocks, this kit is a true drop-in upgrade that installs cleanly using Hipshot’s UMP™ (Universal Mount Plate) — no drilling, no special tools, and no irreversible changes.

At the heart of the system is Hipshot’s Grip-Lock™ technology, which clamps the string securely using a pin and thumb wheel mechanism. This eliminates excess string wraps around the post, improving tuning accuracy, speeding up string changes and dramatically reducing slippage.

Finished in closed nickel, these tuners offer a classic, professional look that suits a wide range of guitars, from modern instruments to traditional designs. If originality matters, the upgrade is completely reversible — your original tuners can be reinstalled with no visible evidence of modification.
