Graph Tech PRL-8721-B0

I purchased these as they seemed to be the best locking tuners out there and indeed they are. I have Sperzel's on another guitar, also own a Solar with their own locking tuners and the Graphtech win it for me. To be fair the Solar also has an Evertune so I only used the tuners twice when changing strings.

These tuners feel very smooth and after few months they help my telecaster thinline stay in tune even after switching from standard E to drop D regularly as well other weird tuning experiments and some intense playing sessions.

Only thing is, it comes with plenty of templates for easy replacement and I thought I could switch them easy but no. There is a tele style fit but the spacing in between each is wrong. The original tuners were too close to each other compare to the template provided. Had to spend some time fitting them properly but nothing I wasn't prepared to do when I first looked for new tuners.

Only got a little disappointed after getting my hopes up with these templates. This would have been nice though.

To sum it up, great tuners, would buy again and recommend without hesitation as they definitely are the best in my opinion.

I've bought those Locking Tuners after looking at Phil McKnight (from Know Your Gear fame) Sharpen my Axe video. To say that he installed those tuners on numerous guitars, and that he certified of their quality was an understatement.

I disliked my cheap Schecter tuners on my guitar, so I said, why not give it a go? And after only a few hours, the tuning stability of the instrument is better, tuning is easier, and much less rattling when tuning.

I really like it, and frankly now that I am spoiled with Locking Tuners, I will never ever go back to non-locking tuners
