brentrocks Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I tried these Gotoh locking tuners on my Custom Core H150. Direct retro fit, no drilling required!!! Good quality tuners! I got the smoke colored ones because they were out of chrome….but I like the look. https://flic.kr/p/2mPnbsM https://flic.kr/p/2mPoqU2 https://flic.kr/p/2mPoqTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunkKitty Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Nice. I'm partial to Hipshot, but really any of the big brands are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I've never used locking tuners on any of my guitars. For some reason I like the looks of the pearloid keystone button. I wanted to put a set on my 535, but that means going to a Kluson style, with extra holes drilled, etc. I know Grover makes a set of chrome rotomatics with keystone buttons. Maybe I'll order a set of those. Anyone know exactly which model Grovers Heritage normally uses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElChoad Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I replaced the Grovers on my Standard with locking Grovers with nickel tulip keys. I can't fathom why anybody would want non-locking tuners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goSteelers Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 If you haven't tried the Graph Tech Ratios, you don't know what you're missing. They come with little mounting plates that allow them to mount on just about any guitar, without drilling. They are expensive compared to other tuners, but given how often you tune, well worth it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the buttons you get have slack in them send them back and try another brand. I went down that route a few years ago. Not many are designed to fit Grovers. The biggest problem is that the plastic lost grip and trying to tighten the button on the Grover just cracked it. I ended up taking them off and tossing them, putting the old buttons back on.

I have great equipment that is worthy of somebody who can actually play worth a shit, but here it sits in MY music room. Relegated to a life of mediocrity. Poor guitars. And amps. And pedals.
