If you aren't using locking tuners, you're wasting time.
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.

A practical and an esthetic upgrade for Stratocaster, and Telecaster guitars.
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 left-handed 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 of the first upgrades I make when buying a Stratocaster guitar along with replacing the standard strap buttons with locking strap buttons.

Simple swap on my Strat and very
These were the perfect upgrade over stock tuning machines for my new Strat. Price was very reasonable for Fender-branded tuners. Keeps my strat in tune and makes string changes so much easier. They look great and "factory" quality. They are staggered in height so you could eliminate the string tree(s) on the headstock as the 3 highest (skinniest) string posts are shorter than the others to create the correct break angle over the nut Get these and swap them out at your next string change, you won't regret it!

Worth the Money to buy the official tuners.
First, I installed the Guyker locking tuners. This was a mistake. It'll leave holes in my guitar that should never have been drilled. The Official Fender Locking tuners are ABSOLUTELY worth the extra money difference. The official Fender tuners took seconds to install. I could uninstall the old one and install the new one within about 60 seconds for each string during a string change. And locking tuners make string changes incredibly fast, and tuning stability is the best you can hope for without a locking nut. The Guyker tuners are held in place by one flimsy screw, hard to install and involves drilling holes. They don't line up easily either so don't expect perfect alignment from those. The Fender tuners use the dual pins to ensure that they align perfectly every time. I will forever have holes in the head of my strat as punishment for not springing for the official tuners the first time.

Secure and Precise Tuning: Fender Deluxe Locking Staggered Guitar Tuners Review
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.

Have yet to use them, but sharing my installation experience. Great fit.
I have not used the tuners just yet. I am in the middle of a Squire Strat makeover, but thought I would share my installation experience. My existing tuners on my Squire Strat had the one screw in the back. These tuners have two pins in the back, so you might have to drill some holes for those two pins like I did. The tuners themselves fit right in the existing holes. If you are wondering what model Squire Strat I have, I'm not 100% sure. I bought it used. I believe it is a Squire Strat SE that was originally sold in pack with an amp. Front of Headstock: Squier(R) by Fender(R) Strat(R) Back of headstock: Ser # CXS xxxxxxx Crafted in China Anyway, I put the new tuners in place and then pressed down hard to make two dents in the wood where the pins pressed against the wood in the back of the neck. This gave me the spots where to drill my holes.( I would put all 6 in place to make sure the spacing is correct.) I then drilled my holes. The wood is soft so don't press too hard on the drill. The holes need to be really shallow. You can take your drill bit and put it next to the pins and use some tape on your drill bit to mark the depth/length of the pins. After then holes are made it's a quick installation process. Just put the tuners in the holes and tighten the nuts. The nut is 10 mm by the way. Don't tighten down too tight. Again, the wood is soft. I will update my review when I get the strings on and play a while with them in place. I have Sperzels on my Tele, so I'm really interested to see how they compare. I love the Sperzels, but I wanted my Strat to have Fender branded tuners, and I did have a bit of trouble with the Sperzel installation. Probably my fault, but I stripped out one of the tuners during the installation. I think I torqued it down too tight, but the threaded part of the tuner seemed to be made really cheap. That being said, I love the way the guitar tunes and stays in tune with the Sperzels. I replaced the stock MIM tuners that came on the guitar, and it was a noticeable upgrade. I hope the Fenders are too. Stay tuned.
