I used these tuners on several guitars. If you don't want to go the Hipshot route, these are some of the best tuners available. 18:1 ratio, superb construction, these will just deliver. Only two things to keep in mind: these are very heavy, so your headstock will gain a little weight after installation (and maybe the guitar will resonate slightly different). The other tricky thing is to leave some room for the string, don't stretch it too much before closing the thumbweel. Due to the "string-cut" design, once you will tune you won't have any string left, thus leading you to waste a string if you ever need to put the string down and up again (i.e.: for changing pickups).
Otherwise, great tuners, great look. Planet waves always delivers.
