Guyker 6 Inline Vintage Guitar Lock String Tuners – Locking Tuning Key Pegs Machine Heads Replacement Parts for ST TL Style Electric, Folk or Acoustic Guitars – Nickel, Cream Handle

I've been building guitars for 15 years, and have used every tuning machine brand and model under the sun. These tuners, specifically the Pro version, are among the best I've ever used. The gears feel like a $400 set of Waverly machines. They are astonishingly smooth and have less backlash than 90% of name brand machines. For the price, they are BY FAR the best value for the money. I will be using these before Grover, Wilkinson, Gotoh, Kluson etc. They perform as well as Hipshot tuners for almost 1/4 of the price. My son and I built a guitar for him, and I bought these because I was wanting to save some money. I just figured these would get me by until I could save up for some nice Kluson machines, but these tuners feel even better than the Kluson's and will be a permanent fixture in my shop from now on. I've already recommended and installed them for several clients since then, and they all love them. The finish is very nice, as well. No obvious plating defects or burrs. Very clean and smooth finish. The locking mechanism is well machined. The tolerances aren't absolutely perfect, but they're good enough to work as if they are perfect. Other budget brands have WAY too much slop and do not effectively lock the strings. I'm 100% confident in these locking mechanisms ability to hold the string in place. We've had no issues with slipping, and we've played the guitar hard and well for about a month now. Finally, the dimensions are perfect. No odd sizes, holes in the wrong spot, stamping/machining inconsistencies, etc. The dimensions and layout are exactly what you'd expect and match their spec sheet. I really cannot recommend these enough. I applaud the team who were behind these. They did an excellent job and clearly cared about the end result, which really shows. It's not often a budget brand releases something of this level of quality, so I have a ton of respect when they do. It's an incredible value for the price, and I could not be happier with my purchase. Time will tell how durable these are, and I will update my review if any issues do arise, but I expect that I won't need to do that.

These tuners were a perfect fit for my Classic Vibe Jaguar. Installation was quick and easy. Locking tuners make restrings so much easier so this is a great upgrade over the stock vintage tuners. My low E string tuner was not tuning smoothly but Guyker replaced it quickly and free of charge, they're a great company to deal with. I'd say overall the tuners are not as high quality as higher priced tuners. The turning mechanism sticks out a little far and sometimes get turned in my gigbag leading to an out of tune string. However for the cheap price I don't mind relocking a string every now and then.

I tried putting these on a true vintage guitar: a Kent Lido from the 60's. While they did fit and looked perfect, I had to enlarge the holes slightly and use a few of the original screws. The spacing was slightly off so I had to place them out of order, but it doesn't bother me much. I like the quality of the actual gear head. They're a nice ratio and very smooth to turn, and they stay in tune relatively well. The only reason I knock off a star is because they didn't fit my true vintage guitar. I'm sure that if you put these on a Stratocaster or something they would fit fine.

I recently got a silvertone 1478 reissue on sale. It was very affordable so I expected a few parts would need upgrades. I've used this brand for my other modern guitar tuners but I've never had vintage style tuners. The guitar was having some tuning issues so I tried a few things. Ultimately upgrading to guyker tuners resolved this. The installation was easy. I did have to add 1 layer of thin copper tape to the ferrules because they were slightly too small for the holes. The movement of the pegs are smoother and sturdier than the factory pegs. There's very little play or jumping so they function much better while still looking like the factory retro tuners.

High quality tuners that mounted up quickly, and fit with zero issues. I would buy these again, no problems. If there were anything wonky I would have sent back.

Great tuners in every respect. I replaced those on my Harley Benton TE-62 and they're a drop-in fit - just use the bushings already in place so that it's not necessary to drill to the larger hole size. Couldn't be more pleased!

These absolutely do NOT fit a Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster neck. The ferrules are too big to fit in the holes. I could force them with a rubber hammer (LOL!) and possibly crack the headstock or I could ream them out manually (also LOL!). And I could spend 1/4 the price of these tuners on replacement gold ferrules (the existing ones are chrome, which obviously don't go with the gold and blue of these tuners, which is the whole point of them), but I cannot be sure if the shafts on these tuners would fit the smaller off-brand ferrules. Instead I am left with tuners that would aesthetically only work on the one guitar they definitely won't fit. Serves me right for believing the Amazon AI tool when I SPECIFICALLY ASKED IT if these would fit this particular Squier model! Sure, I should have measured. But in 2025 it is not unreasonable to "believe" the product page on Amazon.com has the right answer. Won't be making that mistake again. And since these should be drop-in replacements for Classic Vibe Squiers, which use the SAME size ferrules as the Paranormal... Be careful out there! I don't know who Guyker thinks their audience is for their cheaply made Chinese products, but people who buy actual Fender don't buy this junk. It's us Squier modders who do. Get your act together, Guyker! You too Amazon with your unreliable AI.

I am extremely impressed with the value of these tuners. I used these as a replacement for my 40th anniversery Squier tele. Install was easy and took maybe ten minutes. The tuners fit perfectly and I made no modifications whatsoever to the wood. The tuners work perfectly, locking is easy, and restringing my tele is now extremely easy. I have one complaint. The screws are not great quality. I could have used them just fine, but I ended up using the old screws that came with my tele because otherwise I'd have the better quality screws just lying around. Honestly, who cares, though? Not a huge problem at all.
