Screaming Wind Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 sorry if i seem all too ingnorant, but what exactly is the difference between normal tuners and locking tuners? also, what are the top brands for tuners>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethmetal Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Locking tuners clamp the string so you don't have excessive string winds around the post, or string movement. Sperzel, gotoh, planet waves all make versions. They are not necessary on locking trm guitars, but they don't hurt. They will improve tuning stability on all other guitars.

Devon Headen Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 it's also much much much faster to change (a) string(s) with locking tuners. Post 300 Devon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreamLine Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 best locking tuners are schaller locking tuners i think. i ahve some with a brass (open nut) and a OFR.... and strings dont go out of tune one bit...... and i'm a hefty floyd abuser what do they do? with the aid of a mechanism, with acts like a needle, which pushed the string in the tuner 'hole' thingy right to the top....... basically holding it secure, so that the string does not slip, causing it to go out of tune. did i explain that well enough? post 200!
