Locking Tuners for Right-Handed Electric Guitar, Stratocaster and Telecaster Guitar Tuners, Polished Chrome, Set of 6

These were the perfect upgrade over stock tuning machines for my new Strat. Price was very reasonable for Fender-branded tuners. Keeps my strat in tune and makes string changes so much easier. They look great and "factory" quality. They are staggered in height so you could eliminate the string tree(s) on the headstock as the 3 highest (skinniest) string posts are shorter than the others to create the correct break angle over the nut Get these and swap them out at your next string change, you won't regret it!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Fender Strat replacement parts .performed as described, amazingly!! No more fighting to stay in tune! They hold my guitar in tune and changing strings is a breeze! Play more guitar and less time tuning.replacement was as easy as loosening the nut, remove and replace easy peasy. These tuners are my new go to replacement parts! Highly RECOMMEND THESE OVER CHEAPER TYPE. SLIGHTLY COST MORE , BUT WELL WORTH THE MONEY SPENT! FIVE STAR ALL THE WAY! Quality: Is exactly 💯 what you get! More time playing my guitar less time tuning. Money we'll spent.

SUMMARY If you aren't using locking tuners, you're wasting time when you restring. They are just faster and easier. Overall, this is a really nice convenience upgrade on guitars and it's not very expensive to do. Fender uses these on the American Deluxe, and once I got one, I had to have these on the rest of my stratocasters. Because they save time restringing, you are more inclined to restring frequently, which means you sound better. (Fresh strings can do a lot for your sound!) I've put these on several guitars I have, and always appreciate them when changing strings. At installation be aware these are staggered height tuners so be sure to put them in the correct holes (see below). These are drop in replacement tuners for most modern MIA and MIM Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters that use a Shaller style tuner. Fender makes these relatively cheap now in chrome, although I wish they would make them affordable and available in a gold finish. I've seen also seen nickel and black, and they make gold but hard to find and rather expensive (something like $120 a set). (Update gold is coming down in price and seems to be slightly more available. Fender also now makes "brushed chrome". FUNCTION/PURPOSE I think people believe these somehow give you more stable tuning or something but that is actually not their purpose. Proper use of a traditional non-locking tuner is just as stable. Some folks don't actually understand how to properly use traditional tuners and they don't get stable tuning as a result because they use too few or too many wraps and don't string it correctly. For those folks, these will elimiate the resulting "pings" and such. But their intended purpose is to speed string changes. I believe that some folks confuse locking tuners with a locking nut in that respect. A locking nut quite definitely makes for more stable tuning, and that's why you always find them with Floyd Rose tremolos which are made for dive bombing. But locking tuners are not really for that purpose. FIT AND INSTALLATION Regarding fit, these have 2 little pins on the backside. If you are considering a replacement, make sure you get tuners that are the right size and configuration for your guitar so you don't have to drill the back of the neck, the tuner bores in the headstock, or use inserts. If you want to use these but don't have the little alignment holes, Stewart Macdonald makes a small drilling jig for drilling those holes. It's expensive (about $40) but not as expensive as messing up your neck or breaking the tuners when you tighten them down on ill fitting mounts. It is nearly impossible to drill those alignment pin holes correctly without a jig, and even with the jig, easy to be slightly off. These fit most newer FENDER stratocasters and tele's, both american and MIM and will be a drop in replacement with no muss and no fuss in most of those cases. Pull one of your existing tuners out and look at it before you change. If you have a squier or a knockoff you may want to measure the headstock bore and remove a tuner to look at the back mount. Maybe buy and inspect, with the knowledge you might have to return them. There is usually an exact fit drop in replacement locking tuner that can replace your standard tuner so if this isn't it, look for one in the same brand as what is on your guitar now. Be aware different tuners also have slightly different holes bored for the main peg hole. Typical neck bores for tuners (by brand) are shown on the warmoth site at [...] These are the holes that warmoth uses on custom necks when fitting tuners of various brands: - For Fender/Shaller tuners, its a two step bore, with the main portion being 25/64" and the rest at 11/32". - Vintage style tuners use 11/32" - Gotoh and Grover use a two step 13/32" to 11/32" - Sperzel uses 25/64" - Planet waves uses 13/32" Of course, if you are mechnically inclined, have the tools, and don't mind potentially drilling additional holes in your neck, you can almost fit any tuner you want on any guitar. Sometimes that means using inserts or bushings, or drilling a hole for a tiny backmount screw, or for alignment pins in different locations...but the best answer is to use a tuner that is a drop-in replacement. When installing, be sure to look at the height of the pegs on your old and these new tuners. These are not all the same length -- they have staggered heights - 3 long and 3 shorter. (I think I have also seen some sets that are 4/2 but these are 3/3.) Put the long ones in the E-A-D string holes, and the shorter ones in the G-B-HighE holes. Another tuner I really like is the planet waves self-trimming locking tuner. I bought a set of those in Black for a Fender telecaster FMT HH that did not use a typical 2-pin Fender/Schaller mount -- they are really great and not that expensive. So if these Fenders don't fit the guitar you could take a look at those. As I said, I have several sets of these fender locking tuners. I like them. But I do have one set that developed a problem with the High E tuner -- it constantly breaks High E strings (not when playing but when stringing, and tuning) so I've reached out to fender regarding a possible replacement. Nothing is perfect...hopefully they will take care of me with either a warranty replacement or an inexpensive single replacement tuner.

I have never been disappointed in Fender Locking Tuners. The Fender Locking Tuners also come with an embossed F logo on the back of the tuning post that adds just a touch of class to the brand and sets them apart from others; they are both a practical and an esthetic upgrade for Stratocaster, and Telecaster guitars. They are accurate and precise when tuning guitar strings, and the notes up or down within a fraction of a millimeter, and have extremely tight tolerances. Once the strings are pulled tightly through the locking tuning peg hole, the strings will wind around the tuning pegs in a single clean sweep. Guitar strings do not slip or move, they stay in tune. Fender Locking Tuners are perfect for players who play all styles of music and who switch from standard to drop tunings on the fly. The Locking Tuners also makes changing strings so much easier. Fender Locking Tuners come in Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Black and Gold for right and left-handed guitars. They usually fit into the pre drilled tuning peg holes without making any modifications. Just drop them in, tighten with a thin profile wrench. It's the one of the first upgrades I make when buying a Stratocaster guitar along with replacing the standard strap buttons with locking strap buttons.

I purchased this product for my 1995 stratocaster approximately 1 month ago and wanted to wait until I installed the tuners and tested them with a set of new strings. Well, I'm really impressed with the quality and functionality of these tuners. They not only look great, but consistently keep the strings in tune. Would highly recommend.

I can't stand that Fender charges close to $2K for an American Pro II Stratocaster, and they only give you standard tuners. I guess I should feel lucky they include a hardshell case; the only USA model below this, the American Performer for $1,500, only comes with a bag. You need a 10mm wrench for the top nut. 3/8" Imperial is too small. WHY?? These are supposed to be USA-made parts! Easy install on USA guitars, no drilling: pull the string off, unscrew the old tuner, screw the new tuner on. That's it. Don't forget: you have to unscrew the tuner lock quite a bit to keep new strings from snagging upon insertion. Also to note: no need to worry about unscrewing the lock screws out too far, they stop before they fall out onto the floor. Things to keep in mind: locking tuner do not solve tuning problems. Their only purpose is faster string changes, and to eliminate the need for winding strings around the posts.

I bought these Fender Locking tuners to install on my Fender Telecaster Squier Affinity. The hole size is good (10 mm) but the pin holes on the bottom do not match the Squier, like they would a US Telecaster. If you carefully tighten down each tuner you can make an indent for drilling the new pin holes. The pin holes are very close to the original ones so you must be careful when drilling the new holes. You could fill the old holes with wood glue but I did not. I mis-drilled one hole slightly but was able to tighten the tuner down and into place without a problem. The quality of this kit is really good, even though Fender list no description of what you are buying. Mine kit turned out to be three long tuners and three short tuners. The long tuners are for the thicker strings and go in the first three holes closest to the neck (nut). I was able to get my set for just $50 new on sale and I consider that to be an excellent deal. It is a nice touch to have the Fender "F" on the back of each tuner too to help customize my guitar.

I have these on 4 Fender strats. They are the best drop-in tuners around for Fender branded guitars. Installation is simple, quick, straightforward. Took less than 15 minutes to remove the old strings and tuners, install these, restring the guitar, tune it, stretch the strings, retune. These are EXACT fit for MIM strats (two pins on the tuning machine). Only tool needed is a 10mm nutdriver/socket. Stability is VERY good. Ease of string change is also a plus. This is probably one of the two best upgrades that can be done to improve tuning stability on a Strat (the other is the nut). For the price these were listed at, this was a bargain. I would not hesitate to install these on any future Strat and I would highly recommend them to anyone who owns a MIM strat. Great product, great quality, great price.

A great upgrade to my Mexican fender, swapped them out as easy as pie, they hold tune, and look great. Super quick for an on the fly change if gigging or at home. Usual original Fender quality. A no brainier for upgrading your cheaper Fender to that American spec standard!

Nachdem meine schöne Squier Tele schon hochwertige Pickups bekommen hatte, fehlte noch ein passendes Set Locking-Tuner. Auch wenn ich einige neue Bohrungen an der Kopfplatte anbringen musste, bereue ich den Einbau keineswegs. Die Gitarre hält die Stimmung und der Seitenwechsel geht enorm schnell.

Mycket bra. Varor överensstämmer med beskrivningen.

Clavijeros Fender de muy buena calidad, los pedí para mi Fender y se adaptaron perfectamente, los compré a muy buen precio.

Çok beğendim.
