    • A practical and an esthetic upgrade for Stratocaster, and Telecaster guitars.
Color: Polished Chrome Style: Right Hand Pattern: Tuners
I have never been disappointed in Fender Locking Tuners. The Fender Locking Tuners also come with an embossed F logo on the back of the tuning post that adds just a touch of class to the brand and sets them apart from others; they are both a practical and an esthetic upgrade for Stratocaster, and Telecaster guitars. They are accurate and precise when tuning guitar strings, and the notes up or down within a fraction of a millimeter, and have extremely tight tolerances. Once the strings are pulled tightly through the locking tuning peg hole, the strings will wind around the tuning pegs in a single clean sweep. Guitar strings do not slip or move, they stay in tune. Fender Locking Tuners are perfect for players who play all styles of music and who switch from standard to drop tunings on the fly. The Locking Tuners also makes changing strings so much easier. Fender Locking Tuners come in Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Black and Gold for right and lefthanded guitars. They usually fit into the pre drilled tuning peg holes without making any modifications. Just drop them in, tighten with a thin profile wrench. It's the one or the first upgrade I make when buying a Stratocaster guitar along with replacing the standard strap buttons with locking strap buttons. ... show more

    • Great upgrade
Color: Polished Chrome Style: Right Hand Pattern: Tuners
Prefect fit, easy install & work really well. I don't understand why fender doesn't just put staggered tuners on all strats. I don't really need the locking feature, but it's cool and works great.

    • 2023 MIM Telecaster
Color: Polished Chrome Style: Right Hand Pattern: Tuners
These were a drop in replacement for the standard tuners that came on my 2023 Fender Telecaster Player Plus Top. No drilling, or any modifications of any kind needed, just unscrew the old ones, and screw in the new ones. They work great and hold the string firmly in place. I didn't use the original tuners for very long so can't give a real comparison. But I can say that these stay in tune great, don't wiggle loose at all, and make down tuning so easy it you like to switch to drop D and back fairly regularly. These are my first locking tuners ever, and make re-stringing a breeze. I went with the staggered tuners to help keep the string angle off the nut correct. Will be installing more on my others guitars. ... show more

    • If you aren't using locking tuners, you're wasting time.
Color: Polished Chrome Style: Right Hand Pattern: Tuners
SUMMARY If you aren't using locking tuners, you're wasting time when you restring. They are just faster and easier. Overall, this is a really nice convenience upgrade on guitars and it's not very expensive to do. Fender uses these on the American Deluxe, and once I got one, I had to have these on the rest of my stratocasters. Because they save time restringing, you are more inclined to restring frequently, which means you sound better. (Fresh strings can do a lot for your sound!) I've put these on several guitars I have, and always appreciate them when changing strings. At installation be aware these are staggered height tuners so be sure to put them in the correct holes (see below). These are drop in replacement tuners for most modern MIA and MIM Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters that use a Shaller style tuner. Fender makes these relatively cheap now in chrome, although I wish they would make them affordable and available in a gold finish. I've seen also seen nickel and black, and they make gold but hard to find and rather expensive (something like $120 a set). (Update gold is coming down in price and seems to be slightly more available. Fender also now makes "brushed chrome". FUNCTION/PURPOSE I think people believe these somehow give you more stable tuning or something but that is actually not their purpose. Proper use of a traditional non-locking tuner is just as stable. Some folks don't actually understand how to properly use traditional tuners and they don't get stable tuning as a result because they use too few or too many wraps and don't string it correctly. For those folks, these will elimiate the resulting "pings" and such. But their intended purpose is to speed string changes. I believe that some folks confuse locking tuners with a locking nut in that respect. A locking nut quite definitely makes for more stable tuning, and that's why you always find them with Floyd Rose tremolos which are made for dive bombing. But locking tuners are not really for that purpose. FIT AND INSTALLATION Regarding fit, these have 2 little pins on the backside. If you are considering a replacement, make sure you get tuners that are the right size and configuration for your guitar so you don't have to drill the back of the neck, the tuner bores in the headstock, or use inserts. If you want to use these but don't have the little alignment holes, Stewart Macdonald makes a small drilling jig for drilling those holes. It's expensive (about $40) but not as expensive as messing up your neck or breaking the tuners when you tighten them down on ill fitting mounts. It is nearly impossible to drill those alignment pin holes correctly without a jig, and even with the jig, easy to be slightly off. These fit most newer FENDER stratocasters and tele's, both american and MIM and will be a drop in replacement with no muss and no fuss in most of those cases. Pull one of your existing tuners out and look at it before you change. If you have a squier or a knockoff you may want to measure the headstock bore and remove a tuner to look at the back mount. Maybe buy and inspect, with the knowledge you might have to return them. There is usually an exact fit drop in replacement locking tuner that can replace your standard tuner so if this isn't it, look for one in the same brand as what is on your guitar now. Be aware different tuners also have slightly different holes bored for the main peg hole. Typical neck bores for tuners (by brand) are shown on the warmoth site at [...] These are the holes that warmoth uses on custom necks when fitting tuners of various brands: - For Fender/Shaller tuners, its a two step bore, with the main portion being 25/64" and the rest at 11/32". - Vintage style tuners use 11/32" - Gotoh and Grover use a two step 13/32" to 11/32" - Sperzel uses 25/64" - Planet waves uses 13/32" Of course, if you are mechnically inclined, have the tools, and don't mind potentially drilling additional holes in your neck, you can almost fit any tuner you want on any guitar. Sometimes that means using inserts or bushings, or drilling a hole for a tiny backmount screw, or for alignment pins in different locations...but the best answer is to use a tuner that is a drop-in replacement. When installing, be sure to look at the height of the pegs on your old and these new tuners. These are not all the same length -- they have staggered heights - 3 long and 3 shorter. (I think I have also seen some sets that are 4/2 but these are 3/3.) Put the long ones in the E-A-D string holes, and the shorter ones in the G-B-HighE holes. Another tuner I really like is the planet waves self-trimming locking tuner. I bought a set of those in Black for a Fender telecaster FMT HH that did not use a typical 2-pin Fender/Schaller mount -- they are really great and not that expensive. So if these Fenders don't fit the guitar you could take a look at those. As I said, I have several sets of these fender locking tuners. I like them. But I do have one set that developed a problem with the High E tuner -- it constantly breaks High E strings (not when playing but when stringing, and tuning) so I've reached out to fender regarding a possible replacement. Nothing is perfect...hopefully they will take care of me with either a warranty replacement or an inexpensive single replacement tuner. ... show more

    • Why didn't I do this sooner?

Review Image by Todd Schacherl Todd Schacherl
These were not a direct fit for my Indonesian Squire bullet so I had to drill out the peg holes to be 10mm and then drill the 3/8 holes for the holding pegs and the old holes still show. HOWEVER, completely worth it. Stringing up has never been easier and the tuning stability is exactly what I expected, very good. I'll be getting a set for my SG soon. Not these per se but locking tuners for sure as they are the only way to go. Why use two sticks when you can use a lighter? ... show more

    • Secure and Precise Tuning: Fender Deluxe Locking Staggered Guitar Tuners Review
Color: Polished Chrome Style: Right Hand Pattern: Tuners
The Fender Deluxe Locking Staggered Guitar Tuners in Chrome offer a great tuning solution with their secure locking mechanism and staggered design. While these tuners provide excellent tuning stability, there is one consideration to keep in mind. Pros: 1. Secure locking mechanism ensures stable tuning. 2. Staggered design improves string tension and tuning stability. 3. Sleek chrome finish enhances the guitar's appearance. 4. Durable construction for long-lasting reliability. One consideration: 1. Some users may need to install additional accessories to prevent string slippage on the fret nut. Overall, the Fender Deluxe Locking Staggered Guitar Tuners are a solid choice for achieving secure and precise tuning. The locking mechanism and staggered design offer excellent tuning stability, enhancing the overall performance of your guitar. However, it's important to note that depending on your specific setup and playing style, you may need to install additional accessories, such as string trees, to prevent string slippage. Keep this in mind to ensure optimal performance and satisfaction with these tuners. ... show more
