Guyker 6 Inline Vintage Guitar Lock String Tuners – Locking Tuning Key Pegs Machine Heads Replacement Parts for ST TL Style Electric, Folk or Acoustic Guitars – Nickel, Cream Handle

I recently got a silvertone 1478 reissue on sale. It was very affordable so I expected a few parts would need upgrades. I've used this brand for my other modern guitar tuners but I've never had vintage style tuners. The guitar was having some tuning issues so I tried a few things. Ultimately upgrading to guyker tuners resolved this. The installation was easy. I did have to add 1 layer of thin copper tape to the ferrules because they were slightly too small for the holes. The movement of the pegs are smoother and sturdier than the factory pegs. There's very little play or jumping so they function much better while still looking like the factory retro tuners.

They work really well, stay in tune and also compliment the finish of the guitar! The bushings fit my squier J mascis Jazzmaster perfectly and they feel very sturdy.

These are a steal for the price! Nice build quality and smooth turning. However, you need to check your center to center spacing! My Hohner Strat neck was 26mm. Had to do some creative mounting because the a couple of the screw heads crashed into each other. (See spec diagram above.) Recommend 29-30mm minimum. Would buy again with that caveat.

I tried putting these on a true vintage guitar: a Kent Lido from the 60's. While they did fit and looked perfect, I had to enlarge the holes slightly and use a few of the original screws. The spacing was slightly off so I had to place them out of order, but it doesn't bother me much. I like the quality of the actual gear head. They're a nice ratio and very smooth to turn, and they stay in tune relatively well. The only reason I knock off a star is because they didn't fit my true vintage guitar. I'm sure that if you put these on a Stratocaster or something they would fit fine.

I used this set on a telecaster clone that I repainted. The original tuners were ok but some of them were wiggly. I have never had a locking set before and while it isn't necessary as such, it does make restringing that much easier, and these lockers have a really nice vintage finish that adds some style as well as functionality. Very impressive especially for the price, all six tuners were very solid and had zero wiggle.

These locking tuners are totally functional and look great. A great alternative to higher priced brands. My Strat already had the classic tuners and these new tuners were an exact fit. Easy Peasey!!!

Installed on a classic vibe Squier Mustang. Dropped right in with no reaming required. I can't state how good these tuners are for the price. I have Fender locking tuners in another gutair and these are just as good. If you are considering these to upgrade a Squier, do it. You won't regret your purchase. 🤘

I was able to get an amazing deal on a low-end guitar and will upgrade it to be my backup guitar. The first thing to upgrade were the tuners. Tuners on these low-end guitars are terrible. I have never use vintage style tuners but did not want to fill and redrill for modern tuners. Looking over the options, these tuners were well reviewed and fit the budget for a backup guitar. They were a drop-in replacement without any installation issues. Sadly, only two of them were good. Three of them have a little bit of play, and one of them flops back and forth like a frog in a sock. I removed them and that one has something very wrong internally. It feels like one of the gears is too small and barely meshes with the other. With the amount the string post flops back and forth, I would not want to put string pressure on it. I will have to bite the bullet and buy higher end vintage style locking tuners or fill the screw holes and put in some modern locking tuners I have used before and have worked well. I will have to trash the one tuner as it is unusable. The others will go in the parts pile for use in a parts' guitar to be donated to a school or young kid.

These dropped right into the neck for my Jaguar. I was waiting on a set of Gotoh/Fender Vintage locking tuners that had a delivery date that kept getting pushed back, and I just wanted something with lockers to tide me over and get everything back together. I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. The bushings went in without too much drama, I gently used a small c-clamp to press them in evenly. The tuners all lock and turn nicely, they seem to stay in tune, and they look great. Installing the units to the neck was a cinch as everything lined up perfectly, and the screws all went in nicely. I'm not sure the Gotoh tuners would be that much of an upgrade, at more than twice the price. I'm not in any hurry to replace these, that's for sure. It's nice having the lock on a knob too, it makes string switches a breeze, and no more fussing with multiple string wraps around the peg. Stick the string in fairly taunt, clamp it, and then turn it until its in tune. Makes me wonder why I've not gone to this style years ago.

Clavijeros de bloqueo perfectos para mi Harley Benton TE52, no hay que hacer apsolutamente nada, ni taladro ni lijar, tan solo sacar los clavijeros que lleva la guitarra y colocar.

Bought these as an upgrade for my Squier Mustang - I can’t abide the Fender style slotted tuners and wanted some vintage cream button tuners. When I found these locking ones for a fraction of the leading brand of locking tuners I decided to take a punt. I am SO glad I did. They’re so well made, the quality is comparable to other locking tuners I’ve dealt with before, and they came nicely packaged too. They come with all the ferrules and screws you’d need (though I didn’t need to swap the ferrules on mine). For the Squier Mustang it couldn’t have been easier to swap them out as all the screw holes matched perfectly. Took less than 10 minutes to do. It’s really made this guitar even better and more enjoyable to play in my opinion, plus I love the vintage look.

These are such good value for money. It’s a game changer when upgrading from the non-locking type of tuners. But in addition, they look fantastic and are really nice quality. Recently given my Squire 50’s Classic Vibe Strat a revamp.

They look fine and drop right in, but I wouldn’t recommend them for anything other than cheap project guitar. Each machine head has different stiffness and they all have various levels of play before engaging.
