Vertical and Horizontal Machine Heads Explained
The terms vertical and horizontal refer to the manner in which
the posts of the machine heads function.
Posts which stick up through the back of the peghead are called
vertical. If your instrument has circular holes bored in it for
a post you need vertical machine heads.
Posts which run through a slot in the peghead are horizontal. If
your instrument has a slotted peghead you use horizontal machine
heads.
A few machine heads have posts with two holes drilled in them. One
on the end and one in the middle which allows them to be used on a
vertical or horizontal peghead.
