peterbright Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Thinking about locking tuners for my H575...any recommendations?
peterbright Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 Which ones...106, 406, 502, or 505?
jimsoloway Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Hipshot Grip-Locks. Available in both open and close back. We installed these on about 250 guitars and the results were universally excellent. They're going on the Heritage that I just ordered.
Markohio2112 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I personally have not had much luck with Grover anything and sperzel for that matter. Almost all of my guitars have Gotoh or Schaller except for the two pin Fenders guitars. By the way the Fender locking tuners are great of you have a Fender. Just my 2 cents.
GuitArtMan Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I prefer properly strung vintage tuners. The orignal locking tuners. 99% of tuning problems are the nut anyway.
bolero Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 `HA!! I have never had a problem with Grovers..I prefer them to kluson types
tbonesullivan Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I've been happy with most locking tuners. i have the most experience with sperzels, but pretty much all of the major makers have their own variety now. I will say that the Grovers on my H150 seem to have the most "play" in them, which I'm not entirely fond of.
smurph1 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I've always liked Grovers but, (wait for it..) I live in West Virginia.. LOL
DetroitBlues Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 In my opinion, I've never felt the need for locking tuners. I play hard on my guitars, yet they all stay in tune. Even tremolo guitars stay in tune unless I'm really heavy on the bar. For most Heritages that have a stop tail, I believe locking tuners are a waste of money. Properly strung up and stretched strings should hold out just fine.... Again, just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth...
Millennium Maestro Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Which ones...106, 406, 502, or 505?502s
peterbright Posted December 11, 2013 Author Posted December 11, 2013 Thank all of you. For me locking tuners 1: make it easier to restring and 2: tuning is better. But if only #1 were true, I'd still prefer them.
Millennium Maestro Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Locking tuners arent easier to restring? Mine are.
