Fender Classic Tuning Machine Heads - Chrome

Fits a 10 mm tuner hole without the need for a bushing like most others. These use 2 pins rather than screws to help lock them in place, so be prepared to drill 2 small, shallow holes for reach one. Also, for non-Fender/Squier headstocks, make sure there's at least 9.5 to 10 mm from the edge of the hole to the end of the headstock on the low E or it'll stick out over the end. These tuners hold tune really well and look good.

These dropped right into my MIM Telecaster. They have the two locating pins like my originals. Took all of 5 minutes to install.

I don't like the design and extra weight of locking tuners. I prefer the old school slotted head design, and don't find the locking tuners much faster for changing strings (as you still need to trim the string ends). The problmes I have with locking tuners are they they either break the strings if cinched down too tight, or slip if not cinched down tight enough.These tuners are a good replacement for the ones that were installed in my 2006 Fender Deluxe Strat. Both sets of tuners have the 2 alignment pins that make installation easy and secure. These were a direct replacement, and needed no changes to the drilled holes, nor did they require any "conversion" bushings.I can't confirm the tuning ratio, but they feel smooth and none of them show any sign of backlash or slipping.

It was the easiest drop in set of the old safety tuners. Perfect fit, working out excellent on two guitars.

I picked up my used MIM Telecaster some years ago. At one point, one of the "modern" (stock) tuners failed, but I had a replacement.The modern tuners (stock) are fine, however, the string-ends were ripping up my gig-bag.For some time, I'd wanted replacements, but wasn't sure what to use. I read a few reviews on the TDPRI forum and decided to pull the trigger on these "safety" vintage-type tuners. They are fantastic!I really like being able to put the string end down in the post (like on basses!). The look is very classic/vintage, but the modern gears (18:1) work fantastically. Outside of these features, these tuners were direct drop-in replacements for my stock tuners. Great buy.

Thankfully these are nickel, not chrome. I prefer nickel over chrome on vintage style guitars, so this works well. These tuners have that vintage look with some modern engineering. They are a little bulkier than actual vintage tuners, as these are the double peg slot/screw ferrule type, which adds some bulkiness compared to actual vintage, with a the bigger nut/washer combo securing the tuner from the face of the headstock, rather than the underside with the little philips screws...They feel solid and smooth, like a set of grovers. I do prefer these over the super chunky and chrome, modern fender tuners.

I swap these out on day one of all my Fenders. Makes string changes a breeze and stays in tune all day. I’ll never understand why Fender ever moved away from this design. Far superior to the new style.

Looking like vintage Kluson style tuners, these are designed to fit the modern Fender tuning machine with the dual pin system and a 10mm bushing. But I have to say, after using these, I prefer them to Fender's locking tuner system. I maintain having few tuning issues like my lockers, but also don't have the string breakage issue at the tuning peg itself should I need to slack to maintain. That's my major gripe about owning locking tuners. If you know how to wind strings on slotted tuning posts, these are a no-brainer.In addition, these are screwless tuning machines. Actual vintage tuners have 7 screws to hold the tuning machines in place from the rear. But since Fender has their double-pin system, these are only really held down by the screw-in bushing. They're both beautiful and perfect.

Si tus afinadores tienden mucho a desafinarse, esta es una muy buena mejora. Aparte que el producto es lo esperado de la calidad Fender. Muy recomendando!

I far, far prefer the vintage-style tuners like this. It's just a perfect design, makes changing strings a joy and not a hassle. Just pull the string tight, cut about 2 inches past the post, stick it in the hole, bend it out one of the sides of the slot, and tune up. On the standard tuning machines on many guitars these days, you have to do a luthier's knot to make tuning easier and more stable, otherwise you're dealing with bending the string and trying to hold it so it doesn't slide back through while tuning with your other hand and keeping downward pressing with your third hand. :P The slot+center hole of vintage-style tuners, such as these ClassicGear tuners, have other advantages, though. You can loosen the strings and they lift right out of the posts, allowing you to clean the fingerboard, polish frets, adjust a vintage-style neck's truss rod, work under the pickguard - you name it - and then reinstall the strings by just sticking them back in and winding back up to pitch.These particular tuners were bought as an upgrade for a Fender Player Jazzmaster, and they are a drop-in replacement and work perfectly. They feel high quality, too. It was a quick, painless upgrade, and now I've got vintage-style tuners on all of my Jazzmasters, and my acoustic, and my son's mini Jazzmaster. I'm happy!

These tuners leave no loose string ends. They have a slightly better gear ratio 18:1 and leave more room around the butter bean tuning heads for the your fingers. They are a high quality build and I prefer the look.They are a strait forward drop in replacement cast with the same two locating pins that sit in the already drilled headstock holes for my Fender Player Series Stratocaster's original sealed 12:1 tuners which where just fine by the way. See paragraph one to know why I swapped to these.
