Musiclily Pro 3x3 Guitar Locking Tuners Tuning Pegs Keys Machine Heads Set for Les Paul Style Electric or Acoustic Guitar, Black

Perfect fit for an ESP LTD EC-256. The knobs are interchangeable as well so it keeps the stock look of the guitar which I like better. I had no issues with the supplied screws breaking off or anything but I could have used the ones that came with the guitar if I wanted to. Anyway I didn’t want to spend $100+ on a name brand set of locking tuners and figured for 1/3 of the price it’s worth trying these and worst case could return them. These work awesome! No complaints. They went on without a single issue. The ex-256 is known to have tuning issues and while technically switching to licking tuners doesnt effect tuning issues it cured them on this guitar 100%. The guitar stays in tune even if I play for an hour straight or if it sits for a couple days, it’s always in tune. In rare cases the G string might need a very slight adjustment but that seems to be pretty common on a lot of guitars. I have an Ibanez prestige that came with locking tuners and I must admit these work just as good. 100% recommend these.

Perfect stock-looking replacements that lock. My set, although new, looked somewhat aged but my guitar is almost 20 years old so it all matched. Good twist resistance & stays in tune

These are good tuners but quality control is weak. I've gotten two sets and both batted five out of six. You have to drlll a big enough hole for the screws and make sure you put them on the correct side. Duh, but I installed the wrong side because they are labeled L and R and I took it viewd from the front not the back. An easier guide is that all the tuner screw holes face down toward the neck. I had to replace the screws as they strip easily. The big problem I have is that the first string tuner must have a burr or something inside because high e strings kept breaking at the post. Workaround is to not tighten the lock too much and just use it like a traditional tuner with three or four winds arounds the post. Still good for the price.

I bought these to replace tuning pegs from a different manufacturer that did not operate smoothly. Here’s some pros and cons:On the pro side, silky movement and easy to turn and locking mechanism works well.On the con side, some tolerances were a little tight, but not enough to inhibit installation.Overall nice tuners at a decent price, I would recommend.

These are a great alternative to more expensive locking tuners. They are very responsive and I definitely see an improvement in tuning stability. I easily installed them on my Donner DMT 100 and they were a very inxpensive upgrade which made a great difference. I will bebbuying more of these in the future.

I've installed these on an electric PRS style clone guitar, an electric resonator guitar, and an electric 12 string. Very easy to install and the fit was perfect for all of them, as well as the function of the lock. I have much more expensive Ratio locking tuners on another guitar, and if they weren't already on there, I'd have no complaints about using these instead. The Ratio tuners are a better product, but the cost is more than half of the cost of the three guitars I mentioned. For the cost, these would be a no-brainer to install on most guitars without locking tuners just for the sake of ease and speed of string changes. As for things to watch out for, once a string has been locked in and tuned, it develops a strong kink. If the string needs to be removed and them put back in, that kink will be a weak point. This can be avoided by giving the string a little more slack when first installing if the need to remove and replace the same string is expected (like changing a pickup). Also, for the lightest of strings .008-.012 giving an extra wrap around the tuning peg before feeding through the lock may help if slipping is an issue. I've learned that I don't need to overly tighten the locking mechanism. Basically, just enough pressure to clamp the string without weakening it from being pinched too hard.

Unless your build requires name-brand machine heads, these tuners are all any guitar requires. Typical Musiclily high quality and workmanship. I have used dozens of these tuners in all configurations, colors, and styles and have never been disappointed.

First of all, the locking tuners were delivered three days early. I replaced the factory tuners on my Ibanez Artcore AM73B with the Musiclily Locking tuners and it was a perfect drop in fit. There was no drilling or forcing the new tuners in place. So far, the guitar has stayed in tune after playing it, putting in case for few days and then playing it again. Excellent locking tuners for the price and I would recommend them.
