These tuners offer exceptional tuning stability, precision, and a vintage aesthetic Review: Great tuners - I've used Hipshot locking tuners on my guitar builds for years and always been happy with their performance. I particularly like the mounting plates which hold the tuners tight without having to drill new holes in the headstock. It's especially nice for guitars that you may want to sell or return to original one day. Unfortunately, I didn't notice these were staggered, so they wouldn't work in my application. That's my fault, not the tuners, and now I have a spare set in the drawer when I need them.
