Locking tuners are a common upgrade for any guitar to reinforce tuning stability, and Fender’s Locking Stratocaster/Telecaster Tuning Machine Set is the go-to mod for Fender die-hards here. Designed as a direct replacement for most Strat and Tele headstocks, this set of six in-line tuners prevents string slippage at the tuning post with its pin-lock mechanisms, locking your strings in tune at your guitar’s headstock. The staggered tuning posts not only keep your strings locked in place, but they also reduce unwanted string buzzing behind your guitar’s nut without the need for a string tree. Moreover, the modern 18:1 gear ratio affords incredibly smooth turning action and a high degree of accuracy. From heavy picking to full-throttled dive-bombing antics, the Locking Stratocaster/Telecaster Tuning Machine Set can keep up with any vigorous performance in your future.
