Wilkinson Chrome E-Z LOK Post Guitar Tuners Tuning Keys Pegs Machine Heads for Strat Tele

2004 Squier Stratocaster Standard.Not a “drop in” replacement for my guitar, but I knew that when I ordered.My guitar had the “2-peg” tuners stock, whereas these new ones have a screw instead. I simply had to line up all the tuners, mark the holes and carefully drill small pilot holes. No big deal.They seem to operate smoothly and hold tune. I also think the look great too.I only replaced my original tuning pegs because I was looking into some upgrades instead of buying a new guitar, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole and decided to change the look of the guitar while I was at it. Black output jack thingy, roller saddles, roller string trees, strap locks and tuners. I reused the original chrome nuts from my tuners.I also replaced the 500k pots with a “Gilmour wired” setup with 250k.Fun little project, but I still want a new guitar. Lol

I originally got these for a Tele I'm building, but they mysteriously ended up on my $75 Strat copy. ; ) They're a huge improvement over what came on the guitar, I hadn't figured on the difference being so big. Now tuning the guitar isn't an ordeal anymore. Will definitely be buying again!

Bought a set of 6R for an older Stagg as part of a budget overhaul and am pretty satisfied with them. They look great and work better than expected. They don’t hold a tune as well as the high end locking machines will, but for under $30 they are more than worth it. Sturdy and easy to string up (YouTube video on it explains how if you’re not familiar) and they hold up to the heavier gauge and hybrid string sets I use as well as my firm attacking and liberal use of the tremolo arm while strumming. I currently have them on my main player and play 1-3 hours daily, I tune the guitar once maybe twice a week and am generally not even a half step off when I feel the need to do that. If you’re not picky about perfect tuning you’ll likely go weeks between tunings playing daily. I honestly feel like these and a high quality nut (I use GraphTech Tusq) are second only to installing quality pickups and internal wiring when it comes to turning a “meh” ax into one that produces a satisfying tone and sounding like a higher end guitar.I just received a second set of 6R for a FrankenCaster (old Ibanez strat-body, Jaguar bolt on neck, Duncan Invaders at neck & bridge both coil tapped to split with a push-pull pot, Tele-style nickel covered neck pickup in the middle, tune o matic bridge with Bigsby style tail and trem) that I’m currently building and plan to buy a third set (3L 3R) for a Washburn WI series that’s next in line for an overhaul.Solid deal if you’re looking to upgrade your machines without having to spend the money on locking tuners.

I enjoy building guitars from scratch and modifying cheap guitars to turn them into something special and beautiful. Wilkinson hardware is usually a winner for me, quality at a good price, and those tubing machines are a winner again. I used the locking models and really liked them, but I'm making the current project for a friend and he didn't want locking tuners, do this was perfect. I retrofitted a no-brand Stratocaster neck and I knew the holes in the headstock were the wrong size, but it was simple enough to ream them to the proper size. The tuners were easy to install and look great. More importantly they operate smoothly and keep the guitar in tune

Solid quality. Gear ratio works well. Black finish looks great on my refurbed stratocaster.

I purchased these for a Tele I'm working on upgrading and didn't want to spend 3x as much as the brand that has an "F" on the back of them, but also didn't want to buy some that were next to nothing. They were an easy install on my Tele, just had to drill pilot hole for the screw that anchors the machines and keeps them from shifting. They stay in tune, and tune better than any other tuning machines on most of my other guitars. I'm able to tune to pitch without getting that annoying pitch warble you get on some of the cheaper brands. The Wilkinson tuners, in opinion is an excellent option for anyone that doesn't feel like they have to have a big manufacturer name on their hardware, and is every bit as purposeful and functional as it should be for what it is.

These were easy to install. Took me longer to get the strings off than to install the new tuners. These are not locking tuners in the sense that they lock the string to the tuner post with a vise type screw. These provide a double hole through the peg. You feed the string through the top hole, wrap it around the peg underneath the string, then back through the lower hole. Pull it tight and cut it off. You'll about 1/2 turn on the peg and be in tune. It even works on the unwound strings with no slippage. Also, the gear ratio is 19:1 where most are 12:1 or 14:1. That means that you get finer tuning with these pegs.

Bought these for my low budget Yamaha Pacifica 012 .... fantastic upgrade from the cheap covered tuners that never keep the strings in tune .... wow it’s night and dayYou need to make a small modification on the tuner holes and that’s it (just requires a T-Handle reamer) watch a YouTube video ...easy DIY jobUPDATE!!! .... few of the post are loose and not keeping the guitar in tune .... very disappointed....I ordered true locking tuners which will cost me $60 much higher qualityYou get what you pay for .... holds true for tuners.... don’t buy the cheap tuners you will be disappointed
