Hipshot 6GLO Grip-Lock Locking Guitar Tuning Machines 3+3 - Universal Mounting Plate UMP included - Chrome

These are a fantastic upgrade from stock tuners. The universal mounting plate makes installation easy. The locking feature means it takes less than a minute to change a string -- you just pull it through, tighten the gear, and tune it up. It won't even make a full twist around the peg before it's in tune. The tuners also feel high quality and look neat. Some tips before you order: Make sure you are buying the right version of these. The sets are not all the same, especially if you're comparing a 3x3 (think Les Paul headstock) vs. a straight 6 (Stratocaster headstock). Measure the hole size for your tuner, since older guitars use a different size. Also measure the thickness of your headstock because you might need a longer post size. Yeah, these things means you'll have to remove your strings and unscrew the nut on one of your tuners, but it's better to double check before you have to buy and return.

Extremely fast and easy to install. Makes stringing a breeze. High quality feel and worth every penny. Besides the ease of stringing. The tension stays. So more sustain and stability of tuning after breaking the strings in. Highly recommend.

I installed these Hipshot 6GLO Grip-Lock Locking Guitar Tuning Machines on my PRS SE Custom 24. They were a perfect fit and offered a significant improvement over the standard PRS Tuners. The locking feature was the primary reason for buying them initially but once they were on the guitar I realized how smooth they operated and also how much more precisely I could tune the guitar. I am now swapping out the original tuners with these tuners on all of my non-core PRS guitars.

I bought these to replace the crappy guyker vintage-style locking tuners that I put on my Harley Benton HB-35 Plus(modeled after a Gibson 335 for y’all who don’t know). This has finally fixed all my tuning issues! They are super reliable and are well machined enough to be able to tune with excellent precision. The plates made it super easy to install and required nothing more than a wrench to tighten the tuners. Now the only thing that I don’t like are the triangular tuning buttons. They really didn’t fit the esthetic of my guitar but since that is simply a matter of preference, I won’t lower my rating. I solved this by removing the green, vintage-style buttons from my guyker tuners that I loved the look of, and drilled some bigger holes in them till they snuggly fit in place of the original hipshot tuning buttons, which were super easy to remove. After some leveraging and pushing and twisting, I got em on and now they look epic and function amazingly. This solved my issue of wanting the vintage look, but with locks. The guyker tuners did it but sucked in quality. This was a great way to get the best of both worlds, and have a more satisfying custom setup as a result. As a bonus, I love the open gear look, it’s just super cool and fun to look at. To sum it up: they are awesome and all I could ask for in a tuner, for a super reasonable price. Hope these treat you well!

Fit my Les Paul perfectly. Installation was so easy with the mounting plates. No drilling required. A quality product. Highly recommended.

You have many options for tuners. If these Hipshot tuners fit your guitar you can't go wrong with them. If you've never used locking tuners you're in for a treat in terms of stability and ease of use. They look great, too.

I had ordered these hoping that the single screw hole would line up with the Grover tuners I was replacing on a Les Paul Standard. They didn’t. However, the mounting plates worked just fine and the tuners were easy to install with them. The only reason reason for four stars is that the holes that you insert the strings into just barely clear the locking nut. If you use heavy gauge strings, inserting the low E may be an issue, on an LP Standard anyway. Otherwise, they work great!

Absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for a tuning machine upgrade. Smooth turning knobs, the locks engage perfectly, and the UMP in the box makes installation super easy
