Classic Tuning Machine Heads - Chrome

These are fantastic. They are genuine Fender parts. Per Fender support, these will fit all modern, two pin style tuner. I did a simple swap on a 2004 Fender Highway 1 Telecaster. No drilling, no modifications. 100% plug and play. They are 18:1 gear ratio like modern tuners which is nice. They hold tune really well too! Highly recommended if you’re wanting that vintage tuner appearance.

Looking like vintage Kluson style tuners, these are designed to fit the modern Fender tuning machine with the dual pin system and a 10mm bushing. But I have to say, after using these, I prefer them to Fender's locking tuner system. I maintain having few tuning issues like my lockers, but also don't have the string breakage issue at the tuning peg itself should I need to slack to maintain. That's my major gripe about owning locking tuners. If you know how to wind strings on slotted tuning posts, these are a no-brainer. In addition, these are screwless tuning machines. Actual vintage tuners have 7 screws to hold the tuning machines in place from the rear. But since Fender has their double-pin system, these are only really held down by the screw-in bushing. They're both beautiful and perfect.

Absolute perfect fit on my 1996 American Strat. Great design without having to make any permanent changes since it utilizes the same two pin design. Fits MIM and USA perfect.

I don't like the design and extra weight of locking tuners. I prefer the old school slotted head design, and don't find the locking tuners much faster for changing strings (as you still need to trim the string ends). The problmes I have with locking tuners are they they either break the strings if cinched down too tight, or slip if not cinched down tight enough. These tuners are a good replacement for the ones that were installed in my 2006 Fender Deluxe Strat. Both sets of tuners have the 2 alignment pins that make installation easy and secure. These were a direct replacement, and needed no changes to the drilled holes, nor did they require any "conversion" bushings. I can't confirm the tuning ratio, but they feel smooth and none of them show any sign of backlash or slipping.

Fits a 10 mm tuner hole without the need for a bushing like most others. These use 2 pins rather than screws to help lock them in place, so be prepared to drill 2 small, shallow holes for reach one. Also, for non-Fender/Squier headstocks, make sure there's at least 9.5 to 10 mm from the edge of the hole to the end of the headstock on the low E or it'll stick out over the end. These tuners hold tune really well and look good.

These tuners are fantastic. A bit shiny but hey they are new.All 6 feel great, holds tuning superbly. Easy to install, no drilling required. No more pricking my finger. String changes are a breeze and also easy to reuse if ever you needed to do a quick repair. In my opinion these are better than locking tuners, and cheaper in price.

Work well. Nothing more to say. They're Fender.

These are really nice tuners if you are into the vintage style. It's good that these are direct replacements for the standard tuners and you don't have to drill any additional holes. I actually like these better than the Fender locking tuners with vintage buttons.

Easy installation and a nice upgrade. It's Made in Taiwan.

Bought these to upgrade my 2003 Indonesian Squier affinity Stratocaster. They are really nice with a good gear ratio and nickel finish. They will not fit without drilling new holes so if you are planning on putting them on a Squier be prepared to make some modifications. I have included a photo showing the size difference between the squier and fender tuners for anyone planning on putting these on a squier.

Llegaron a tiempo. Tuve que hacer obra para instalarlos en mis HB. Agrandar los taladros hasta 10mm y taladrar los agujeros para los dos pines. No ha dolido ya que han sido hechos a ojo, marcando la madera con ellos y han quedado estupendos. Venía de unos kluson del estilo pero de calidad más que dudosa para el costo de 40€ que tenían. De hecho uno ya estaba rompiéndose. He pasado de un 15:1 a un 18:1 y debo decir que se afinan con gran precisión. También mantienen la afinación respetablemente bien. El sistema de fijacion con su tuerca en vez de los tornillitos me resulta mucho mas confiable. En fin. Son muy recomendables.

I far, far prefer the vintage-style tuners like this. It's just a perfect design, makes changing strings a joy and not a hassle. Just pull the string tight, cut about 2 inches past the post, stick it in the hole, bend it out one of the sides of the slot, and tune up. On the standard tuning machines on many guitars these days, you have to do a luthier's knot to make tuning easier and more stable, otherwise you're dealing with bending the string and trying to hold it so it doesn't slide back through while tuning with your other hand and keeping downward pressing with your third hand. :P The slot+center hole of vintage-style tuners, such as these ClassicGear tuners, have other advantages, though. You can loosen the strings and they lift right out of the posts, allowing you to clean the fingerboard, polish frets, adjust a vintage-style neck's truss rod, work under the pickguard - you name it - and then reinstall the strings by just sticking them back in and winding back up to pitch. These particular tuners were bought as an upgrade for a Fender Player Jazzmaster, and they are a drop-in replacement and work perfectly. They feel high quality, too. It was a quick, painless upgrade, and now I've got vintage-style tuners on all of my Jazzmasters, and my acoustic, and my son's mini Jazzmaster. I'm happy!
