So, yeah. THese Gotoh Magnum locking tuners are the shit. Awesome. Makes it much easier to change strings, especially wiht a Bigsby,

So, I'm looking at these TWO guitars I just b uilt, and realized the tuners are staggered, and I have them installed completely randomly.



I get to reinstall them in a while when I put new strings on.

Once you get them in the right places I’m curious to see how they hold up. I think the current Fender Eric Johnson Strats come with staggered tuners and I could see myself putting some on one or a couple of my Strats. They looks great though and being Gotoh I’m 99.9% certain they’ll work perfectly.

I'm a big fan of Gotoh. They have been making solid stuff for a very long time. These seem just as nice as any of their tuners.

Been there, done that.

Gotoh rules! Aside from using their non locking tuners, I’ve bought a couple of their bridges and they’ve been great. One was just the six screw vintage Strat trem for a parts build and it’s been flawless. The other was a replacement tuneomatic for my Gretsch. Again, excellent.

I have nothing to add other than

Last month I bought left handed tuners on accident. I had to put them on my reverse head stock guitar..... that I put righties on ages ago. Worked out in the end except the colors are opposite now.
