These tuners have non-staggered posts, suitable for all 6-in line headstocks that tilt back. If your headstock tilts back, as on a Gibson Explorer, you need a 6 In-line non-staggered set. Hipshot keeps a massive inventory of Hipshot Grip-Lok guitar tuners, including the custom buttons, Left hand and 7-string sets. Installation - fits almost all guitars. The posts are 3/8 and fit a hole drilled as 10mm or 25/64". Everything you need to install including bushings and screws are included. Hipshot's Grip-Lock Guitar Tuning Machines grip your strings for positive, accurate tuning. The new sleek design and ultra smooth 18:1 gear ratio give you a great combination of tuning stability, accuracy and good looks. The locking feature eliminates the need for multiple string wraps, and trem users no longer need a locking nut that deadens string sustain and all those annoying Allen screws and wrenches (added weight). Tired of winding strings? This is the answer. The Hipshot Grip-Lok is proven to hold strings tightly, allowing the guitar to stay in tune to improve playing enjoyment.

So I bought these for my 2020 Squier Affinity Stratocaster, but the when I installed it onto my guitar, the UMP plate did not line up for some reason, I got it on eventually, but im honestly scared it’ll just snap at some point

I ordered these Hipshot locking tuners with the open-back design to replace the god-awful factory tuners that came on my Squier Bullet Telecaster. Considering they cost just a little more than half of what Hipshot charges for them on their website, I was worried they might be knockoffs or something. Turns out they're the real deal and well worth the price.Installation was a breeze. All it took was a 10mm wrench and five minutes. I used the supplied mounting plate rather than drill pilot holes to screw them in. They come with screws, if you want to go that route, and the backs of the tuners have the same footprint as the originals so they would cover up the peg holes for the original ones.The difference between these and the stock tuners is night and day. The old ones were sloppy and I had to kind of crank-tune the strings, i.e. go flat and then tune up, oops too sharp, go flat a little less then tune up, oops... Not with these guys. Every fraction of a turn is reflected in the tuning and it actually stays there. I chose the open-back design because I dug the look but also because they have an 18:1 gear ratio versus 15:1 for the closed-back design, so accuracy is a bit better.I'll definitely be installing another set of these tuners if (or more likely when, lol) I get another guitar.

Hipshot Grip-Lock 6 inline Staggered Locking TunersGreat quality locking tuners, i fitted these to my squier and personally this would fit any squier that has the modern style tuners already in place.These were a massive upgrade to the stock one that when i was tuning i would make a slight adjustment and nothing would actually happen tuning wise, With Hipshot the slightest movement and i get what im after it more precise.The open style looks great i wasn't really sure before purchasing and then i bought a PRS with the open locking tuners and liked them alot so these while not as good looking as the PRS however, they still look amazing personally.what made these stand out the most is the fact i don't need to drill any holes into the head stock as they come with the mounted plate so if i sell the guitar on i could still reuse the original tuners without adding extra holes.value wise these were cheaper than some alternative and for what i paid for them i would easily say these are a bargain.Overall restringing is now quicker and easier to do saving time, These would fit any squier with the modern tuners installed, easy to install no need to drill extra holes, quality was just perfect.Would happily buy again for my ESP and an old fender.

These are great pieces of very good quality. Too bad they don't fit my guitar neck.

Very easy to install with no drilling regardless of the guitar they are fitted on. The universal mount plate is brilliant, it fit my Squier Stratocaster, when I couldn’t find anything to fit the hole pattern without drilling more holes. Very high quality, stable locking turners. Hip shot is becoming my favorite brand of tuners.

I replace the tuners on almost all of my guitars with locking tuners. Hipshot open gear tuners are my favorite. They're smooth and stable and the open gears look cool. But the main reason I use hipshot, is for the universal mounting plate. I love that I don't have to alter the headstock no matter what type of tuners were originally on it. It makes installation take slightly longer than a normal string change. Hipshot makes high quality gear.

I’ve heard nothing but great things about Hipshot locking Tuners! I own a Schecter Hellraiser Avenger, and the stock tuners were old, and I had trouble maintaining tuning stability, so I decided to purchase these locking tuners, and they were super easy to install thanks to the universal mounting plate, so there is no need for additional drilling. All you need is a 10 mm wrench and you’re done I highly recommend these tuners because string changing is much more easier now. Hipshot tuners are the way to go. I may have to purchase more of these tuners for my other Guitars because I am never using anything else!

Son los afinadores más fáciles de instalar del mercado definitivamente. Uno de los afinadores se rompió tras un mes y un poco más de uso por defecto de fábrica, me puse en contacto con Hipshot a través de su correo de contacto y me mandarán un repuesto, ya que a través de Amazon ya no podía porque solo te dan un mes para reclamar. Muy buena atención a cliente de parte de Hipshot, de Amazon pues ni pude reclamar nada. Pero en general feliz con esta compra! Los recomiendo para cualquier proyecto, aunque si el presupuesto lo permite buscaría una opción más premium.

Great tuners. Easy to install and hold tune great. I thought I ordered the staggered however I received the unstaggered set but that’s not a huge issue for me. Overall really great

Hipshot did a wonderful job on these tuners!! They're solid as a rock, tune smoothly, hold the strings well, and are the easiest tuners ever to install. They have patented mounting plates, and don't require any screws to mount them! The original tuners on vintage & classic guitars can be re-mounted without any evidence that they weren't there the whole time!! I use them in on all the Telecaster Style guitars I build, and they're easier than any others to mount. They also have changeable buttons, and one can get several sets of different styles for a reasonable price, and change them yourself. I have also put them on all my personal guitars as well.

Bought these for a Dean NashVegas Hum Hum that had some tuning issues. Found that the "Tuner pin drill jig" I had purchased from Stewmac ($40.72) worked for the screw position needed for these tuners although this brand isn't mentioned as one of the ones it was designed for. I couldn't use the universal mounting plate included with the tuners because the head stock was too thick. And even though they are staggered, I decided to keep the string trees to help keep the string angle as consistent as possible. One of the problems with this guitar is the short distance between the nut and the low E string tuning post (common on six to a side guitars). But these tuners are smooth as silk and no "slop" in them. They may be out there but these are the only reasonably priced 18:1 ratio, staggered, locking tuners I could find. And the open gears look very cool and I like that I can use a light machine oil right on the gears (3-in-1 oil, etc.). And $40 seems like a lot for a jig but it's saved my butt and made my life easier many times. These are great tuners!
