Mors Phagist Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I need a site where I can buy 7 locking tuners, prefferably from a good brand. Ive browsed around, and I can't seem to find Individual locking tuners, and the sets of 7 Ive found have been ESP/LTD, and are non locking... But Ive got them in my shopping cart anyway, with a 7 string 48mm Locking nut and Licensed floyd 7 on GPDUSA.com... Id rather not be forced into buying 7 sets of 6 Gotoh Locking tuners (42 tuners) and making 5 more Seven strings than I planned on. And I would also like it if I could also find 7 string 48mm locking nuts and Floyds on the site, so I could order everything at once and save on shipping.

killemall8 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Why exactly do you need locking tuners, if you have a locking nut? that is kinda pointless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGGOTBRAIN Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Cant help ya with the locking nut or Floyd....but try here for tuners http://www.tkinstruments.com/id75.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Have you looked at Warmoth yet? They usually have Schaller locking tuners and sell them as individuals, so you buy as many as you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmth Builder Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Sperzel will make you a custom set if you ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 yeah, give sperzel a ring locking tuners may seem a bit redundant with a locking nut, but they still give the advantage of quicker stringing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Why exactly do you need locking tuners, if you have a locking nut? that is kinda pointless... Says the guy that doesn't play any more but they still give the advantage of quicker stringing Much quicker,and well worth the price.I like that I no longer have to wrap the strings so much.Especially when you have more than one guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mors Phagist Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 No, i dont play much anymore, but still. Still dont get why you need locking tuners with a locking nut. Extra quality for not too much more cash, perhaps extra tuning stability, and are quicker to use. Sperzel has an odd ordering system (To me anyway) so I don't think Ill go through that. Nice tuners though. Thanks for the links guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 No, i dont play much anymore, but still. Still dont get why you need locking tuners with a locking nut. 1)Extra quality for not too much more cash, 2)perhaps extra tuning stability, 3) and are quicker to use. 4)Sperzel has an odd ordering system (To me anyway) so I don't think Ill go through that. Nice tuners though. Thanks for the links guys. 1) I am not sure why you think locking tuners will be better quality than the same brand of ordinary tuners ??? 2) killemall is right, you will not get extra tuning stability whilst also using a locking nut.. if you do then you have a faulty locking nut. Also lets be clear how locking tuners improve tuning stability... Its to do with the lack of string wraps on the post which can move during trem use on trem guitars without locking nuts. Locking tuners fix this problem, but there are other ways and set-up tricks that can do the same. they do not instantly lock the guitar in tune, they just lock the string in the post and there can be many other areas that will cause tuning instability that they wont fix 3) this is the main reason for using them as far as i am concerned. They are just a lot less fiddly to string up 4) Phone sperzel direct and talk to them like the real people they are - nothing complex about it, the prices are good and the people are friendly. I particularly like sperzels because they are light weight. Other locking tuners can seem too heavy because of all the extra parts involved, the sperzels balance this out with lighter materials. I also like them because you can dismantle and reverse them for the other side of the headstock - thats come in usefull a number of times now!!

Mors Phagist Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Phoning them might be easier. Can you order over the phone with them if you have a credit card number? Locking tuners probably aren't neccessary, and whether they lock or not apparently isn't important with a locking nut. But, I still want quality tuners, which I can buy 7 of. Im looking at the open back/trim lock tuners, so I think Ill call about those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
