  1. i've done some reading in various places and many people state that locking tuners have little to no effect on tuning stability; they just make stringing up easier. any truth to this? i've been eyeing some lockers, but i don't find restringing that inconvienent. thanks.
  2. i'm looking into the same thing. the reverend guitars are all passive pups. so far, i've found a buncha different EMG preamps and something by Chandler (it's at musiciansfriend.com). the EMG stuff is convienently lumped together here (also a page of bass preamps). preamps good luck. i listened to the clips of that 'contour' on rev'd's site and sure liked it alot better than my relatively dysfunctional tone knobs.
  3. Hey, thanks. I'm looking at grovers because there're govers already in place. I don't care about drilling a little hole on the back of the headset, but I don't really have any way of guaranteeing that I don't totally jack up the guitar by trying to enlarge an existing hole. I have access to a beat up dewalt drill and thats about it. edit: after trolling thru that link abit more (I found a ton of good info there) it may be that the sperzels will fit the existing holes. Gotta do a little more checking. Thanks again.
  4. OK, this is my first post here and I've got a few questions about these pegs, but 1st... I'm currently deployed to Iraq and since I only have on guitar here with me, I've decided to play with it abit. It's a cheap Schecter 7 string and I'm gonna at least change the pups out and put locking tuners on it. I've really enjoyed seeing the builds some of you have done tho I fear that I could be in for an expensive hobby when I get home. Now, the questions... 1st, does anyone have a source for individual grover locking tuners? I've looked thru every vendor I can find, no luck, nor can I find contact info for Grover themselves. 2nd, if I buy a set of inline tuners, what are the issues when using them on a side by side head? Weird string angles? Backwards key turning? Finally, all of the hardware on my rig is brushed or satin chrome but I can only find the lockers in 'regular' chrome. Can I just steel-wool the hell out of them or is there a simple(ish) process to 'brush' the chrome? Thanks alot.
