Grip-Lock 6 inline 21mm Locking Tuners Universal Mounting Plate UMP included - Chrome

I bought these for my Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH HT E and they fit perfectly fine. My brother gave me an Amazon gift card so I decided to buy these since there wasn't much guitar gear I needed, but I did want better locking tuners for this guitar. I used the two lineup plates included in the install kit which made putting these on a lot faster. The lineup plates may help, but they're not 100% fool proof so make sure you get all the tuners as straight as possible before tightening down the hex screws on the tuners. I like how the locks work for holding the strings and they're easy to turn. The tuners are pretty accurate being a 18:1 ratio, but are stiff to move ar first. I added a little WD40 and that made the tuners very movable. If you go to install these make sure you have a 10mm hex wrench otherwise you'll have to use needle nose pliers or a lock wrench which could risk damage which I advise against using. Keep in mind something. These tuners are design for more accurate tuning and fast restringing, they do not help at all with tuning stability. Better tuning stability can be achieved with a Graph Tech nut or using pencil lead in between your string grooves on your nut. These come in regular and staggered. If you have string tree like my guitar regular are fine, but with staggered you can usually remove the string trees. Eventually I may get some roller string trees for better stability. I bought these locking tuners after going through many different reviews. I didn't want to buy junk nor pay way too much. These IMO are the best of both worlds, quality and value at the same time. Update, I added an additional picture of my new matching string trees for this guitar so you can see the end result. Not only dies the guitar restringing faster and os more responsive to fine tuning, but also with the string trees has better tuning stability and the strings don't bind yo that area at all. It helps that Charvel included a Graph Tech XL graphite nut.

I like these better than Fender and better than Grover's. These are so precise when tuning. 100% perfect!

Excellent quality product by Hipshot. Installation was quick and easy. The universal mounting brackets make this a great upgrade for your Fender guitar. Just make sure you order the correct size for your particular instrument.

Look no further for tuners if these fit your guitar. I used them on a no name telecaster neck and they fit great. They turn well, they stay in tune forever, they come with a neat little line-up tray to help keep them perpendicular while installing them. You’re paying a little more but I can’t find any fault in their performance, so good value. Will definitely buy them again for next guitar that needs tuners.

I can't personally vouch for their reliability just yet, haven't had them for long enough. But these are good enough for some of the most high end, and technologically advanced electric guitars on the market come with these: many of Rick Toone's non-headless instruments. If these are good enough for Toone's guitars, I'm really not worried about reliability. Their weight is within the normal range for modern tuning machines - my scale measures 211grams for the whole set with everything but the included UMP. (Locking machines are often heavier than these.) So these didn't change the balance of my instrument. For now I'm just extremely pleased with: - how incredibly smoothly they operate - their stability - their (staggered) height (the posts are lower than the tuners they are replacing, which makes for a superior break angle at the nut) - how beautiful these are if you dig the open gear aesthetic If that wasn't enough, these machines are a steal at their current price on here: close to half the price of a set of Schaller locking M6 (they both fit the same tuning machine holes).

Came with a 3x3 UMP instead of the 6-inline one. Besides that great product, but I had the inconvenience of drilling to put in all the tuners.

The best. Period.

This was without a doubt the easiest and cleanest time I've had installing a set of tuners! The mounting plate worked perfectly to mount them to a MiM Strat neck in half the time, with no issues lining them up and no drilling. The tuning itself is easy, smooth, and accurate. I had another set of Hipshot locking tuners on a different guitar I built and found myself wanting them again on my main guitar - zero regrets there, these are every bit as good.

Perfectas, el mecanismo de bloqueo es super simple de usar, además mantienen la afinación por muchísimo tiempo, las únicas cuerdas que tengo que afinar cada cierto tiempo son las que uso para hacer bendings todo el tiempo jajaja, pero eso es completamente normal. Además, el tamaño es excelente, un poquito más grandes que unas de Fender, pero no resaltan en lo absoluto.

Hipshot Grip-Lock 6 inline Staggered Locking Tuners Great quality locking tuners, i fitted these to my squier and personally this would fit any squier that has the modern style tuners already in place. These were a massive upgrade to the stock one that when i was tuning i would make a slight adjustment and nothing would actually happen tuning wise, With Hipshot the slightest movement and i get what im after it more precise. The open style looks great i wasn't really sure before purchasing and then i bought a PRS with the open locking tuners and liked them alot so these while not as good looking as the PRS however, they still look amazing personally. what made these stand out the most is the fact i don't need to drill any holes into the head stock as they come with the mounted plate so if i sell the guitar on i could still reuse the original tuners without adding extra holes. value wise these were cheaper than some alternative and for what i paid for them i would easily say these are a bargain. Overall restringing is now quicker and easier to do saving time, These would fit any squier with the modern tuners installed, easy to install no need to drill extra holes, quality was just perfect. Would happily buy again for my ESP and an old fender.

These are great pieces of very good quality. Too bad they don't fit my guitar neck.

I like these tuners a lot but can't afford to buy them as often as I would like. I particularly love the mounting system.

These look good and are silky smooth to turn. I've had these on a partscaster tele for 2 years now and they are as good as the day I put them on.
