    Drastic improvement

    I was having tuning stability issues on my Mexican Tash Sultana Signature Strat. I did have to drill holes to get these to fit, which I was a bit of a leap of faith. However, after doing so, it’s such an immense improvement. Super happy with my purchase.

    Drop in Replacement for G&L Tribute ASAT Classic Bluesboy

    This set of tuners fit perfectly in my tribute ASAT classic. Very easy to replace. The original tuners did a poor job of keeping in tune. When my guitar tech suggested that the guitar needed better tuners I knew that they had to be changed. Did it myself. Took very little time. Now stays in tune as I play, and the guitar is much more enjoyable.

    Black Ratios

    Loved them. The engineering is superb and the finish was perfect. They really finished of my guitar. I liked the added plectrums, I'm now looking to decide my preference and lay in a supply

    The Right Stuff

    I bought the black color in the 6-in-line ratio locking machine heads and chose the contemporary style. I installed them on a blonde Squier Affinity Telecaster. I still need to add black backing plates in the future to cover the holes left when I removed the machine heads that came on the guitar. This did not happen when I installed them on a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. Now, I'll tell you what I think of the quality of this product. Everything that the advertising said would happen when I bought them is true. They are easy to install, changing strings with the locking mechanism is a snap, adjusting to barely having to turn the smooth metal head when it is time to retune each string takes very little time and the way that they look on the guitar is super. I would highly recommend these ratio electric locking machine heads to anyone wishing to upgrade their guitar.
