Locking Tuning Machine Vintage : Replaced old tuners

I bought these to replace the tuners on my American Special Telecaster. The tuners were the standard version and one faithful day I noticed one of them wiggling when I tuned my guitar. Upon further investigation somehow 3 of the 6 tuners were basically snapped in half. So this was my choice for a replacement.

These are some very solid tuners that I would recommend. However a small gripe with them is that they are a bit expensive for how they feel. My cheaper Yamaha Pacifica 611 has Grover Tuners and I have to say I still prefer those over these.

Not to say that they are bad. The ratio is great so tuning is precise. Locking tuners are way better than regular tuners in my opinion. Guitar barely goes out of tune now. And they look pretty sleek. Brought life back to my guitar.

I would recommend these these as they fit perfectly on a telecaster. Holes line up so no need to worry about drilling your guitar and also they are staggered so that's just even better!
