OldStan Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Ok , I tried earlier to find a good locking tuner set to upgrade my used 575, any Recommendations sisters and brothers?
ElChoad Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 I use Grover 18:1 locking Rotomatics that have always done well for me.

OldStan Posted September 15, 2021 Author Posted September 15, 2021 Sorry ElChoad , I should correct my title to say Direct Fit No Drilliing. Sorry to waste your time, as the Grovers need drilling to install, (unless u am mistaken) and for me sadly that’s not an option anymore.
OldStan Posted September 15, 2021 Author Posted September 15, 2021 Ugggg, the topic of my own thread, WHY can I not edit it!?!

I am not that familiar with the 575. My 150 had Grover 18:1s from the factory, so it was an effortless swap. What is stock on the 575?

brentrocks Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 I put locking grovers on all my Heritages
OldStan Posted September 16, 2021 Author Posted September 16, 2021 Brentrocks did you have to drill to install them ?

OldStan Posted September 16, 2021 Author Posted September 16, 2021 Brentrocks , thank you which model of Grovers, they make sooo many?
OldStan Posted September 16, 2021 Author Posted September 16, 2021 Appreciate it, searching for them now.
OldStan Posted September 16, 2021 Author Posted September 16, 2021 PunkKitty, thank you I’ve read good reviews of them!
OldStan Posted September 16, 2021 Author Posted September 16, 2021 #SOLVED# Pulled the trigger after all you excellent help, what a great community !!!
goSteelers Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 I know you already decided -- I just saw this post -- but having tried the GraphTech Ratio tuners, I would never go with anything else. Each tuner has a different ratio, specific to the string gauge, ranging from 39:1 to 12:1 -- makes tuning significantly easier and faster (and probably more accurate), getting to the right pitch (e.g. you won't "overshoot" when tuning the low E anymore, etc). And -- they come with these little, thin mounting plates that make them install-able on most any guitar, without drilling. You probably have to experience them to fully appreciate what I am saying. Expensive, but well worth it in my opinion.
OldStan Posted September 16, 2021 Author Posted September 16, 2021 yeah goSteelers , I thought of GraphTech, and they appear to be a fine choice, but the price would add up with my 4 Heritage guitars. I even tried going American made, with no luck. Your logic and points are highly appreciated, and if what I ordered last night fails, GraphTech will be in the running. Thanks for sharing the helpful knowledge, friend. Oh, and goBuccaneers! ?lol ?
