Fender Locking Tuner Short Post CH

I've installed them on a 2021 MIM strat. Had minor tuning stability issues with the original ones, but most important, there were some annoying intonation problems. Must mention that at the same time I installed Highwood 10.5 saddles. I cannot say if it's the locking tuners or the new saddles alone that make the difference. I just can say that now there is no problem at all, the guitar sounds and play lovely! Highly recommended, grate upgrade, and great Thomann services as always.

The shorter pins is a great idea!

this is a really fantastic upgrade, if you have the heart to drill into your guitar head if the locking tuners' pins don't fit in the already made holes. once you do this, carefully by yourself, or with the help of technician, your guitar will thank you and you'll thank your guitar :)

i used these locking tuners for my squier mini strat, with great success.

I always add Fender locking tuners to my Fender guitars.

To confirm - these shorter models fit my Mexican-made Fender Jaguar Player perfectly. Highly recommended for faster string changes.

I suspect the increased string brake angle is a positive - but can't prove it!

They feel smooth, operate perfectly and hold tune. They’re easy to mount and the short posts give a good string angle on all the strings. I do still use a string tree but you could do without one. Built to last.

High quality tuning machines, the low profile posts are a plus as it means you don’t necessarily need a string tree to get an adequate break angle behind the nut. Great stability and locking tuners makes string changes a breeze.

I know these tuner from my Fender Meteora and I used the same for a custom Telecaster. Work perfectly, remains stable on the headstock and stays in tune. They are also slightly heavier than the vintage tuners, which adds a bit more weight to the neck.
