Fantastic upgrade for Fender Telecaster
I bought these locking tuners as an upgrade to my Fender American Professional Telecaster. Installation was very easy, they were a direct swap with the ones that came with the Fender. No drilling required.
The only thing I felt could be improved by Schaller was some indication of which string each tuner was intended for. This set is staggered, but it was unclear from the packaging exactly how. Turns out there are 3 short and 3 long ones, but I was initially a bit confused if the 3 short ones were the exact same length or not.
In terms of tuning stability they works great. The tuners that came with the Fender had a bit of wiggle room on the pole and string would loose tension when left alone for a few days. With these locking tuners this no longer happens. Super happy I decided to upgrade!

Perfect quality
I bought these tuners for a telecaster-building project, which is now, happily completed.
They are very nicely made, with nice surface and good quality chrome, and adds a sense of quality to my guitar head.
The locking mechanism works perfectly.
At installation, beware that these tuners do not use a screw to avoid rotation as many other tuners do. Instead they have two little metal tabs that have to fit into the guitar head, and which you have to make (drill) little holes for, However, once installed they are very elegant, and will never be able to rotate,
When the strings have been installed "finger tight" you only have to rotate them about a quarter of a turn (about 4-5 full turns of the tuner head, which has a nice 1:16 gearing) and you will be in tune, and STAY in tune (except for string-stretching, which is less than on traditional tuners, since the twirls around the tuner-head are avoided).
The tuners axis is shortened, compared to a traditional tuner (since you dont need the string to swirl around it several times) so the angle from the nut, even to the high E tuner (on a telecaster head) is enough to avoid using a string-tree, and hence avoid friction from this.

Working just fine
Mounted these on an old Hohner ST special, they did the job. Had to drill some holes.

Top kvalitet
De fleste basser og guitarer jeg har, har fået opgraderet tunerne, hvilket gør det lettere at stemme og så holder stemningen også længere end ellers.
En opgradering jeg klart kan anbefale hvis dine tunere er lige lovligt billige.
