Sperzel Trim-Lok Guitar Machines

I have tried 4 different types and style of locking tuners, and these are simply the best. Have tried Gotoh mechanical lock, wilkinson ez lok, and the schaller style. This is the best, great satin color on the black ones.

I got these from stewmac in 4 days flat. They are the fastest in shipping. These pickups doesn't look that great with the dull finish, but they work great. I have very little tuning issues after I put this on my strat. I also use the guitar grease from stew-mac to lubricate the nut and even with new strings tuning is almost perfect.

After Vibrato use and super-bending tuning is still stable. Tuning goes off slightly after 3 songs. The 12:1 ratio may be a deterrant in purchasing this, but to be honest it didn't bother me that much. Now I have 2 guitars with these. Works flawless.

Very nice aspect. Precise tuning, with an elegant satin gloss. Robust, very good price.

These are by far the best tuners I've used Excellent fit and finish and pin mount is ingenious.

I have had sperzel tuners on my original guitar for about 2 years with no problems.
On the the guitar I just built, I tried out the planet wave lockables and had problems within a week of the strings locking up and not allowing me to loosen the string to pull it out of the machine head. Planet waves did replace the nut and screw assembly so I have the full set but It just told me to get back to Sperzel!

Ok, I played the tuner experimentation game. I spent and wasted a lot of money doing it. I bought Sperzel, Planet Waves, Gotoh, Schaller, and Grover locking tuners. In terms of tone and functionality I noticed no difference with exception of the Gotoh. They are a regular pain in the ^&* to use.

IMHO these are the best for three reasons they are solid (they work well), they look good on the guitar, and they are easy to use. That is all I was asking for.

Stew-Mac was very helpful in making the right selection for the tuners I purchased The pictures & reviews were spot on.
I couldn't be more pleased with the looks or function of these tuners. Just Perfect

I am working on my 6th tele style guitar. I always use sperzel tuners. I can play a one hour set and not have to retune. I wish Stewmac would carry the pearloid buttons as I have to buy them elsewhere.

I had heard a lot about these, and they've certainly lived up to their press. They are, in a word, fantastic. The template used to drill new holes in the headstock is kind of useless, and be warned that the low E string will be difficult to get through the hole, however I installed these several weeks ago, tuned each string as I installed it, and haven't touched the strings since.

My first project was a Squier Thinline. Now... to get all my other guitars done...

You know these machine heads. There isn't more I could say that hasn't been said. They're rock solid, and the aesthetic of them is just beautiful. No more string tree, no more string winder needed! Heck, even if your tuning stability is currently just fine, if you change strings often - you'll save time, and lots of it! String changes with these are a snap (almost literally). I love these things, SO glad I bought them!!!
