SportHiTech Hipshot Tuner Button FAQ’sHipshot guitar tuners all have interchangeable buttons. Any button can be used on any tuner.

As standard, all open gear tuners (both locking and non-locking) come with the ‘Hipshot’ button (see‘HH1’ below) and all enclosed gear tuners (both locking and non-locking tuners) come with the D07 ‘miniSchaller’ button in the same color as the tuner.

SportHiTech do stock sets with some of the most popular button types pre-mounted, and we stock allthe Hipshot add-on buttons individually. If you’re buying a set of tuners from us, you get a bundlediscount on any add-on buttons you might need. Please email us at [email protected] if youhave any questions.

Although all the buttons fit all of the tuners, be aware of the distance between tuners when ordering,some buttons are primarily designed for three-per-side and could be too wide on a 6, 7, or 8 inlineheadstock, for example. As always, we’re here to help, so let us know if you have any questions.

A wide range of alternative buttons are available as options, and those are listed here:
