Abstract: A magnetic head device includes a magnetic head, a mount on which the magnetic head is provided, and first and second pairs of tape guides. The first tape guides are provided on the mount at positions approximately adjacent to and on opposite sides of the magnetic head. The second tape guides are provided on the mount at positions separated from the magnetic head such that one of the first tape guides is positioned between each of the second tape guides and the magnetic head. The mount is formed of a high-accuracy material, and the first and second tape guides are formed of materials having low friction properties which include portions molded into holes provided in the high-accuracy material to form an integral unit. The inner wall of one of the projections of each of the first tape guide is formed as a perpendicular surface and the inner wall of the other projection of each of the first tape guides is formed as an inclined surface.
