Hi all,
I'm looking into investing in some locking tuners for my Les Paul and Strat, as I'm attempting to do some low tuning playing. Just wanted to ask though - how exactly do these locking tuners work? (in terms of actually securing the string, as well as going about string changing and string tension between the tuner post and bridge)
Would also appreciate some recommendations on the various brands that have locking tuners! I understand there are the common ones like Fender stock ones, Sperzel and even Grover too? Anyways, would love to hear which ones hold up the best.
Also, my Les Paul and Strat are equipped with their stock Vintage tuners (Vintage Kluson Deluxe on the LP; Vintage Fender tuners on the Strat) and they have the dual-screw fit into the headstock. Are there any locking tuners that have a similar retro-fitting? Am trying to avoid drilling extra/offset holes into the back of the headstock!
Thanks!
