I believe that! It certainly speeds things up.

1 thing to consider when installing new strings with lock tuners is what tuning you will be using or if you will be constantly using different tunings. If you plan on going from c standard to e standard for example maybe give it a single wind around the tuning post before slotting, especially on the thicker strings as they move more while tuning. Idk if I explained this all too well but hey.

I think what people mistake for string stretch is really the string taking a while to form the bends that the string must make at the bridge, nut and where it meets the tuning peg. One can speed this process greatly for a new string by pressing down on string in front of bridge saddles and on both sides of the nut and also press on the string at the tuner to help it make that tight 90 degree bend. Do this and you will greatly reduce the time it takes a new string to become stable.

this is exactly right.

I just installed my first set of locking tuners (Grover) on an Epiphone LP. I fell in love with them if only for how quickly it enables you to change strings. I have since ordered 5 more sets to install on all my Fender guitars.

Love my locking tuners. Makes changing strings so easy, and yes they stay in tune much better.

One of the biggest misconceptions and myths of the guitar world (and there are a *lot* ), is that locking tuners directly increase tuning stability and will fix all tuning problems. That is not the case. The _only_ reason a locking tuner might help tuning stability is that there are no wraps around the pole piece that can expand and contract. If you have too many windings around a normal tuning post and they overlap, the strings will start to expand and contract against each other adding to the friction at the contact points and the possibility that they will not return back to proper pitch. The expensive locking tuners are also usually made of high quality material and are better made compared to the tuners getting replaced so that also adds to the misconceptions. String slippage will rarely, if ever at all, occur with a proper over/under etc. string locking technique and normal tuners. The nut and bridge have much more to do with tuning stability than the tuners themselves, and those are often the offenders when it comes to tuning problems. The biggest plus, and intention, of locking tuners is to significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to change strings. They make the process so fast and efficient. Gigging musicians who change their strings regularly or who are on tour will benefit the most from them, but for hobby bedroom players who don't do changes frequently (weekly/monthly) it's a decision to make if the expense it worth it because they are more of a convenience item and they don't give as much of a practical tuning stability increase as others tend to believe. The nut and bridge. Those are the focus points unless it's clear and obvious the tuners are worn out and the gears themselves are slipping due to wear.

Changing your strings in a few minutes is priceless. Stick it, clamp it, cut it, turn it, DONE.

I love locking tuners. String changes are so much quicker.

Absolutely solved my tuning issues with a Les Paul and a Jackson with Floyd Rose tremolo.

I use them on my Fender Strats in order to reduce tuning issues. Otherwise, I stick to the popular standard brand tuners if replacements are needed. But keep in mind it is only just one step in correcting possible tuning issues. As was briefly mentioned the string nut and bridge can also be a source of tuning issues depending on the design and condition and amount of wear over time.

I have an old Peavey Predator that I could not keep in tune when using the tremolo so I hard tailed it. I'm putting locking tuners on it and will be freeing up the tremolo. Plus I'm installing Rose pickups with a blender circuit. Should be fun...

I'm doing a total mod on a '97 Squire Affinity Strat. Between proper winding and stretching I don't have slipping issues at the tuners but with this mod I DO have an upper budget limit. Skipping a feature I don't need gives me a bit more money to put into pickups. Thanks for the video!

I'm a vintage tuner guy for Strats and Teles. Gotoh makes a great locking tuner that looks the same at a glance and adds almost no mass. I discovered them on my first Grosh and use them on all my builds now. Plus, ease of string changes compared to the old vintage with the hole hole in the top is a major improvement for me, but I'm a klutz.

I rarely comment on videos but man oh man, what a great, clean content. Cheers!

100 percent worth it. I swapped Fender Player series tuners for the Fender locking and Wow it stays in tune a ton better.

I don't have any problems with tuning stability with any of my guitars. I just stretch them good when I change them. The only benefit of locking tuners is if you have multiple guitars, and you change the strings in them every month. Locking tuners will save time when you change strings, or if you break one, on stage. I always use 18:1 standard tuners.

Great video man, thanks!

I put locking tuners on most of my better guitars and certainly all my work guitars. It makes changing strings so much easier and faster. Out tune problems I always blamed the nut and I put bone nuts on all of my guitars. I noticed some of my work guitars still went in and out there of tune. When you did a few bends the post wrap would loosen up and tighten up. It was the tuners and replacing them fix that. Another great video Steve.

Yes, they are great. Especially for fast string changes.

I have a 1991 Fender Stratplus and the Schaller locking tuners work the same as the day i got it, no problems. I had to tighten up the buttons a couple of times but that's it. Just bought some Fender stamped locking tuners for my MIM player Tele, going to get them tomorrow.

It takes me about 1/4 the time that it usually would. As far as staying in tune better… I'd say that in my experience they're a little better, but I wouldn't expect a giant difference.

Many years ago, I tried Fender-made locking tuners for about $100.00. I did everything you mentioned, and they worked great. However, I was told to just tighten the locking nut snuggly, and not over tighten it. Well, that is hard to judge how much to make it just snug. I tighten a little too snug and broke the locking tuner. Fender did not sell single locking tuners, so my entire 6-string set was now junk. Is there today a brand of locking tuners for acoustic guitar that is way more durable and do not break so easily?

I have Sperzel locking tuners on my Squier Pro Tone. They are some of the original locking tuners on the market and they weren't cheap. I recommend them on guitars with tremelos and they definitely make string change easier. My strat will stay near perfect tune for weeks at a time but I am not sure I would put them on a high end or vintage guitar or Acoustic although they would work great. Remember the bridge and nut can also affect tuning stability but good tuners are a big help. Cheap tuners with backlash in the gears will be problematic locking or not although you can now find decent tuners without spending an arm or leg like I did.

I agree that it can be overkill, but for me it’s just one less thing to worry about. Im considering getting a set of locking tuners for my 2008 Ibanez Gio, mostly because it’s the guitar I use for drop A# and winding the thickest string can be complicated- Ive never been good at winding to begin with, and thicker strings are even harder to manage. Ive tried lots of locking/kinking wrap techniques, but the low string still ends up unstable. Most recently, I restrung it with a set of Stringjoy 12-64, and even after a couple days of stretching and playing, it kept fluctuating and I had to retune it a lot. It’s doing better now, a couple weeks later, but I think I should just eliminate the hassle. Or maybe I’ll just rewatch your string change video... I dunno. Its funny how this Gio my mom got at a Goodwill for 60$ has turned into my downtuned weapon of mass destruction Im now having to upgrade for it to keep up.

Did you know some of The Schaller type sealed tuners tout themselves as locking tuners as well. It's claimed that after you tune them up, you simply tighten the tiny Phillips head screw on the end of the tuning peg handle and it locks it down. Seemed to work for alot of units. Give it a try.

Based on your description I was convinced I didn't care to upgrade. But after watching you actually change the string, I'm 100% sold. My headstocks have a bunch of scratches on them from me wrapping the strings around. With locking tuners I won't have to worry about that.

No problem! I have Grover locking tuners, and tuning down to D is no problem. When you pull a string through the peg hole, and then lock it with the rear thumbscrew clasp, the string is too floppy to even produce an audible note, so the lowest pitch for any string is “floppy”. Just be sure to not pull the string too tight before you lock it, which would require about 15 lbs of tension to pull a 10 gauge string to D. Not likely

I'm a gigging guitarist and I have them for the sole purpose of making on-the-fly string break changes faster. I haven't found them to be more or less stable than normal tuners in terms of tuning, but they're definitely more convenient and worth having for your gigging/most frequently played guitars.

I use locking tuners but I actually do wrap the string around the post once because I've got flat wounds and I don't trust that clamp to hold a flatwound down. That said I wind it around the peg twice, *then* run it through the peg hole and then clamp it down. Then it's tuned in just a few turns.

So if locked my tuners and used a capo would it still stay in tune? this is a dumb question but just wondering.
