Fender 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!

I bought this over and over again.

I replaced my tuners with these in all guitars. Very happy now. Design is so cool on any guitar. For fender guitars these are the best tuners. They hold the strings, no problems.

Superb.

Top quality. Great product.

Great locking tuners

I wanted to replace the standard tuners on my Fender Player Strat. But rather than get the normal locking tuners, I got these because the machine heads have a vintage shape which I prefer.

The tuners are a direct swap with the Fender Player Strat standard tuners. No drilling or filling required. They simply fit into place.

A great upgrade to most fenders.

Great Product

Purchased these to replace stock tuners on a 2004 MIM fat strat.

These slotted in perfectly. No drilling required. Worked as expected. Great tuning stability. Also look great.

I'd recommend this product.

Works great on my 2001 Fender Stratocaster. Installation was really simple.

Nice Replacement for Mexico Strat

Direct replacement for the tuners on the player series...one thing I would have liked is these had a more precise tuning ratio (only by feel, I'm guessing these are 14:1)

1 of the bolts that you screw in broke inside with a standard small wrench and hand / finger strength, so I have 5 Fender locking heads and 1 no brand non locking head at the moment. One of the Fender heads had some filth on it and another has damage on the logo.

Of the ones that didnt break, they feel and look nice.

Noticeably better

Not much to say on quality besides that it feels very premium and well made. They look and feel fantastic as well.

They might not be the best locking tuners out there but they made a good bit of difference in how good my guitar stays in tune (especially after big bends) and my string changing time.

It's incredibly easy to install, a cro-magnon could do it. Fits right on to the strat head no drilling necessary.

10/10 would do again.
