Features

  • These are genuine, factory-fresh Hipshot Enclosed Grip-Lock tuners, for 6 In-line headstocks, with mini buttons finished in Chrome and with full manufacturer warranty. These tuners have non-staggered posts, suitable for all 6-in line headstocks that tilt back. If your headstock tilts back, as on a Gibson Explorer, you need a 6 In-line non-staggered set.
  • Hipshot keeps a massive inventory of Hipshot Grip-Lock guitar tuners both the open and enclosed styles, including the custom buttons, Left hand and 7-string and 8-string sets.
  • Non- Staggered
  • Installation - fits almost all guitars. The posts are 3/8 and fit a hole drilled as 10mm or 25/64". Everything you need to install including bushings and screws are included. The enclosed version of the tuner is the same footprint as the Schaller M6L mini tuner.
  • Hipshot's Grip-Lock Enclosed Guitar Tuning Machines grip your strings for positive, accurate tuning. The new sleek design and ultra smooth 16:1 gear ratio give you a great combination of tuning stability, accuracy and good looks. The locking feature eliminates the need for multiple string wraps, and trem users no longer need a locking nut that deadens string sustain and all those annoying Allen screws and wrenches (added weight). Tired of winding strings? This is the answer. The Hipshot Grip-Lok

  • Really nice with a very convenient mounting system
I just got these for a 15 year old MIM Fender Strat. I have had problems with it going out of tune really easily. I read the other reviews and liked what I saw so I gave them a try. One thing that is super nice about these is the mounting system. I did not have to do any drilling and the tabbed mounting plates make it so easy to get these installed and straight. They are staggered in three different heights. The locking mechanism works great. I recommend these tuners. One thing, and this may just be me, I find the tuning ratio to be really 'fast'. I have an Epiphone with Grover tuners and it is easy to get precise tuning with them. The HipShot seem like a tiny turn makes a bigger jump in the pitch. I believe these are 16:1. I can certainly live with it, I just need to get used to them. If you are looking for locking tuners, I would give these some consideration. They work great, the mounting system is awesome, and the price is fair. They feel good and solid. ... show more

  • Genius and quality..and affordable!
Ok, so there are many good reviews on these, and there's a very good reason. They are very good quality replacement machines for that guitar that just won't stay in tune. I installed a set (with staggered posts) on this cheap-but-good Slammer strat copy after making all other repairs. Holy smokes, what a difference! Now this $160 knock-off plays & sounds nearly as good as my $$$$ G&L! The 18:1 gearing allows VERY fine tuning and after setting the intonation, it NEVER. GOES. OUT. OF. TUNE. The mounting plate system is freaking genius, with NO SCREWS NEEDED to attach the tuners! And those quick-change spinny lock thingys...I mean shut up! I took a chance on these for about $50, and boy am I glad I did! Great value, and the instructions are clear. Now...a warning. If your headstock is thicker than 1/2" at the end machine, DO NOT BUY THE STAGGERED POST VERSION! Mine was 9/16" and (because I didn't want to have to return and re-order) I had to make a 9/16" countersink 1/16" deep to let the washer sit flush, buried in the headstock's wood. This was VERY tricky to do, but it was the only way to reveal the post hole for the string, since the last two posts are the shortest....and it worked perfectly! I do believe they offer an non-staggered model of these Hipshot tuners, in different configs (inline 6, or 3L/3R), so fear not! If you have a guitar that has good bones, but hate playing it because it won't stay in tune, GET THESE! ... show more

  • Simple and significant upgrade.
2020 Squier Affinity Telecaster. This was a direct drop in upgrade, no reaming needed with newer Squiers. Stringing it up was a joy, very simple and it's holding all of the strings firmly. The tuning feel is night and day compared to the stock tuners. These are so smooth and precise. Read the instructions on the direction to install the brackets. I did mine wrong the first time, had to remove them and turn the brackets around. Added a vintage style round string tree and we are looking and sounding great! ... show more

  • After buying, I realize some reviews may be wrong.
Specifically, at least a couple of reviews said the tuners for the thinner strings didn't hold. It made me hesitant to buy. I only did so because it was the ONLY locking tuner solution with staggered posts, for my application, that I could find anywhere (if I remember correctly--I did also have a bias towards amazon for shipping). I'm wondering if those reviewers just installed them wrong, e.g. put the thicker string tuners in the thinner string locations? (I don't actually know if the holes/locks are different though.) Or aren't locking them tight enough? Either way the point is, I experience no such problems, including nights of live performance. They work exactly as expected. I also might be tightening them too tight, I haven't experimented with how much force is actually needed to hold the strings securely. (Also for the top string, I give them almost one full wrap even though that's what the product is trying to avoid. I reason that since the high strings slip through the locks on a different guitar with the Floyd double locking system, unless I REALLY torque the hex bolts down, I shouldn't take any chances with these locking tuners.) So maybe that's why mine don't slip? I haven't tried not doing that. I do feed the lower strings straight in, with only enough turning to tune. Anyway, these work fine and I'm perfectly happy with them. BTW, the mounting system was really weird, but strangely intuitive and inventive. It doesn't use the screws or screw holes of my strat--or any screws at all save for the standard top bolts that hold the tuners in place, but nevertheless holds perfectly, and seems like a superior approach. ... show more

  • Drop-in replacement for Squier Affinity
These tuners check all of the boxes: Relatively affordable, solid locking mechanism, smooth operation, look nice, and will be a drop-in replacement for A LOT of different guitars. I chose these tuners to replace the crappy stock ones on a Squier Affinity Strat. My one gripe with Hipshot is that their listings on Amazon are not particularly clear on what you are getting, as I was hoping to receive staggered tuners, but received a set that were all the same height. No big deal, as they were all a fair bit shorter than the stock tuners and allowed me to remove the string trees. Installation was a breeze using the Universal Mounting Plate. This extremely clever design removes the need for pins or screws to hold the tuner in place. This makes installation a breeze: simply drop the tuners in through the UMP, and tighten the washer and bushing on the other side. It took me five minutes or less. So far the locking mechanism does its job without issue. These are certainly a massive upgrade compared to stock tuners on cheaper guitars. The only thing you need to look out for is sizing to make sure they will drop into your headstock without modification. Make sure you measure the diameter of the holes in your headstock, and the thickness of your headstock to make sure they'll go through the way they should. ... show more
