The Grover V-100 Slimline tuners, produced in the 1960s, are vintage guitar tuning machines known for their sleek, low-profile design and smooth operation. These tuners feature a distinctive enclosed gear housing with a streamlined, modern aesthetic that reflected mid-century design sensibilities. Typically finished in chrome or nickel, the V-100 Slimlines were equipped with a 14:1 gear ratio, offering reliable tuning precision for the time. They were commonly used on a range of guitars from the era, both by major manufacturers and in aftermarket upgrades, due to their reputation for quality and durability. Their compact form factor made them especially suitable for headstocks with limited space, and they are still sought after today by vintage guitar enthusiasts and restorers looking for period-correct hardware.
