Originals broke might have pot metal..These are better..Easy

One of the original tuning keys on my Epiphone PR200 acoustic broke. I found these to lined up just right for the screw placement and angle. So far they're working great.

Good but be careful on install

I bought a set of these with my rewards because the standard with the locking wheel was not available. They fir perfectly in my prs and I noticed that the posts were low, so I unscrewed the to 3 with no issue the bottom 3 were locked on. I tried using my screw driver and it started to strip the screw, so I had to get a pair of vice grips and loosen the top screws which I saw were put on with an air gun. When I turned the guitar it looked and sounded great. So I would recommend you loosing the screws first then put in guitar then you should be good

    Installed a nice black chrome set of these on my PRS SE-245 , yes..the shat of the post is slightly shorter BUT your not winding a lot of string on the post..so THAT height is not necessary . It installed easily half hour full swap . Look very cool in black !

    Not for lefties. Despite not being in the description these are for right handed guitars. Bass side holes for the strings are larger than the treble side holes. It will not work for lefty players. Pretty disappointed. I will be returning these.

    The only problem I had was the headstock on the guitar seems to be thicker than most. The threaded barrels arent as long as they need to be so some customization was necessary.

    These things are the best. If you can't figure out how to use them it's on you. For the rest of us that can operate simple mechanical devices there is no substitute, the most accurate and dependable tuners ever made. It's no wonder ESP installed these on their top of the line Custom and Original series guitars.

  • Awesome Tuners.

    I have a Gibson Les Paul Studio with the Tronical G Force tuning system. Would I have to drill into the headstock to install these?
