Schaller Electronic GmbH

Schaller Electronic GmbH, generally known as Schaller, is a high-end German manufacturer of components for musical instruments, most famous for their fully-enclosed machine heads which are standard on many top-of-the-line guitars and available as an extra cost option on many others.

Schaller also manufactures machine heads for many other instruments, and also components and accessories including mutes, bows, pickups, tailpieces, bridges and tremolo arms, including Floyd Rose licensed designs. In the past Schaller was also a guitar amplifier manufacturer.

The company was founded by Helmut Schaller in the 1950s in order to provide quality hardware for rock and roll performers such as Les Paul, who Schaller personally met.
