First, let’s start with the basics of guitar tuning, The Tuning Pegs! The tuning pegs are located on the head of your guitar, and change the pitch of the guitar strings. To make the pitch go up, turn the pegs to tighten the strings. To make the pitch go down, turn the pegs to loosen the strings.
Thereof, are tuning pegs universal?
When switching between the modern sealed gear tuners, the mounting tabs are never alike, even within the same brand. As a result, you are probably going to have to re-drill to accommodate for the new mounting tabs.
Correspondingly, do tuning pegs matter? No matter what type of tuning pegs you prefer, they are a good place to start troubleshooting when your instrument goes out of tune. Here’s why: The strings may not be wound tight enough around the tuning peg. This will cause the strings to go flat as you play.

A tuning pin is a tuning peg with a detachable grip, called a tuning lever. The socket on the tuning lever fits over the pin and allows it to be turned.

What is a good guitar tuner ratio?
You get fine tuning on the thicker core strings and coarser tuning on the thinner core; anywhere from 12:1 to 39:1 gear ratio. With Ratio®, one turn is about one tone change on all strings, making tuning, retuning and open tunings easier, quicker and more intuitive.
