These tuners have non-staggered posts, suitable for all 6-in line headstocks that tilt back. If your headstock tilts back, as on a Gibson Explorer, you need a 6 In-line non-staggered set.

The posts are 3/8 and fit a hole drilled as 10mm or 25/64". Everything you need to install including bushings and screws are included.

The new sleek design and ultra smooth 18:1 gear ratio give you a great combination of tuning stability, accuracy and good looks. The locking feature eliminates the need for multiple string wraps, and trem users no longer need a locking nut that deadens string sustain and all those annoying Allen screws and wrenches (added weight). Tired of winding strings? This is the answer. The Hipshot Grip-Lok is proven to hold strings tightly, allowing the guitar to stay in tune to improve playing enjoyment. Review: Very responsive locking tuner and fast string changing. - I bought these for my Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH HT E and they fit perfectly fine. My brother gave me an desertcart gift card so I decided to buy these since there wasn't much guitar gear I needed, but I did want better locking tuners for this guitar. I used the two lineup plates included in the install kit which made putting these on a lot faster. The lineup plates may help, but they're not 100% fool proof so make sure you get all the tuners as straight as possible before tightening down the the hex screws on the tuners. I like how the lock work for holding the strings and it's easy to turn. The tuners are pretty accurate being a 18:1 ratio, but are stiff to move. Maybe a little WD40 may help. If you go to install these make sure you have a 10mm hex wrench otherwise you'll have to use needle nose pliers or a lock wrench which could risk damage. Keep in mind something. These tuners are design for more accurate tuning and fast restringing, they do not help at all with tuning stability. Better tuning stability can be achieved with a Graph Tech nut or using pencil lead in between your string grooves on your nut. These come in regular and staggered. If you have string tree like my guitar regular are fine, but with staggered you can usually remove the string trees. Eventually I may get some roller string trees for better stability. I bought these locking tuners after going through many different reviews. I didn't want to buy junk nor pay way too much. These IMO are the best of both worlds, quality and value at the same time. Edit, I'm glad I bought these tuners when I did. They went up in price by a good bit a couple days later. It could be the economy or world events, who knows??? IMO just get them while they're still affordable if this is something that interests you. I notice many other comparable quality brands tend to cost a good bit more not offering enough to justify the price. These at least are still within a reasonable realm of value and quality.

Hipshot quality at it's best! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality *by R***3 on June 18, 2025* These replaced some sketchy Sperzel tuners on a tele style guitar. The Hipshots are great.
