Electric Guitars Tuners?!? We don't need no stinkin' tuners!

Room they’re in. Got it this time.

My experience is that locking tuners don't affect tuning stability l have them on my Les Paul and it's the guitar that always needs tuning Strats stable as anything even with floating tremelos

I put lockers on my Strat and PRS. As long as they are drop in, as in not requiring redrilling, I'm all in. PRS lockers were very expensive, so I found a cheaper alternative.

Please share the source I need to put lockers on my SE Chris Robertson, I prefer locking because it makes string changing quick and easy

Mine are Grovers. I couldn't find the receipt but I got them from Sweetwater. They have added PRS locking tuners on their website I see.

You should be able to find the invoice in your order history under your account.

Those are the ones I have on my FauXplorer., The hockeystick headstock has Grover lockers. The Gibson headstock shown has regular mini-Grovers.

Edit: In case you're wondering what makes them "mini-Grovers," it is the size of the tuning buttons. The actual tuning machines are the same size. The buttons on 3x3 Grovers such as you will find on conventional Gibson headstocks are much larger and would interfere with each other if they were placed on a six-on-a-side headstock.
the tuners are spaced farther apart

Thanks Tommy and Mark, I just happened to take a closer look and the Chris Robinson has lockers already, the tips are chrome instead of the usual black on a PRS

But I do need lockers for my Epiphone lp and the Gibson SG that has those darn autotuners

First thing I do on any Fender if not already equipped is install Fender locking tuners. They do make string changes easier and IMO added to tuning stability because you do not have as many wraps around the post especially if you are bending a lot or using a whammy. My Memphis Shop Gibby ES-339 Trad Pro came stock with them.

I have locking tuners on almost all of my electric guitars. Wouldn't have it any other way. Makes string changes super easy.
