This was great. A very good demonstration and description of the differences. I'm so glad I found this before ordering mine.

[@batphink2655]

Expertly explained and easy to follow Thanks much ,this helps some of us drummer that struggle to play electric lol! Much appreciated!

[@marcosore3213]

Thanks for the help, sir! This was my first time with a Grover Rotogrip 🙏🙏🙏

[@ChristopherLightfoot-zu3kb]

Thought for one second you were Michael J Fox. Great video 👍

[@JRezz777]

Thank You, Great Video!!! I have the Epiphone Les Paul 1960's tribute Plus with 106 locking tuners, and I just change the strings for the first time and butchered them, and I broke the B string to boot.

[@greblus]

I can't believe Yamaha is still installing these tuners in Pacifica 311h 😊. So easy to use and very stable.

[@taokichavez9319]

really cool tutorial video, thanks for sharing :D

[@tengkufaizzuan3679]

Damn that's nice

[@Footender]

I have the 102 on my 2006 Epi LP Standard, I bought the 502 locking off eBay but the screw holes are about 2mm lower then the original tuners so they won’t fit without filling and drilling. Any idea why the two grovers have different screw spacing?

[@steveb9325]

Nice video! Thank you

[@stevedouglas7375]

I agree Steve. I have nothing but trouble with my tuning machines and I'm going to give one, or more of these a try. By the way, for some reason I can't file a video on my laptop unless I get a reply. I can't file it directly. I have no idea why. I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd simply reply to this by typing --- ok, or whatever. Thanks!

[@LIKEFUNK]

I've got standard lockers on one of my Strats, they are great, I've got a Gretsch Streamliner Jr too without lockers that are standard and I'm delighted with how stable they are too, I'm not into changing anything that's already passed the tests for tuning stability, I kinda prefer the conventional type because to me they seem to be more bedded for the neck tone union with the body of the guitar from string attachment wraps around the posts.

[@tickedoffsheikh8587]

Do you prefer Grover locking tuners over Kluson locking tuners? What's the difference if any at all?

[@riconadjar6221]

Hi there, how much taller are the 106's. Thanks

[@tattoofred]

Cool thanks

[@toddkalbfeld4602]

Ome of my Grover Locking Tuners in my Gold Top stopped locking. Grover made it a huge hassle and did not replace the one. Make it Right Grover!

[@NormalFoot]

Can you explain how to remove a string from the rotomatic tuner?

[@TheRealSandleford]

put the second one without the dial in back on a guitar and maybe did not follow directions proper or its a bad set but guitar kept going out of tune. Will have to try doing what he did here to find out. Anyone here have an idea what I may have done wrong that it would go out of tune all the time? If I did not get that click first maybe?

[@QwikVidz]

Thanks

[@BushidoPhoto]

You should buy a bonsai wire cutting tool to trim your strings. I've been using them for years and they are much better than the ones you were using here. FYI. Thanks for the video, I'm considering going to locking tuners and your video was very informative.

[@strivingx67]

If you put on new strings and tune standard, then want to change to a different tuning, like Open G or DADGAD, or drop D, etc., can you do that with these? Question from a newbie to these things.

Yes

Dude i got the same question i recently got a pacifica 611 and its so annoying i have to retune like 20x because it keeps locking

[@Journey-of-1000-Miles]

I have A set of the 502, and I’m still trying to figure out if the locking mechanism is necessary, or just excess weight.

[@ryankane7177]

Are you doing 16 mile foot-marches with a set of those tuners in your rucksack? The extra weight on these tuners is negligible.

HI, how im trying to install Grover 406 C myself. how do i know which machine head is for which string?

[@theylietoyouall.5051]

They're all the same.

[@Rotwang72]

so....you turn the keys to tune them after you "lock" it in back? They aren't locked then are they?

[@Sammie_Sorrelly]

This is what locking tuners are. Locking the string into the tuning post means you don't need to wind it around at all, and the string can no longer slip through the hole. Those are the things which can cause tuning issues. Tuners use worm gears, which only work one way, so locking the tuner itself into place isn't necessary and would stop you from tuning.

[@Rotwang72]

@@Sammie_Sorrelly Thanks man!

[@jamfre1141]

I would like to say that you should not clamp the string like in the video. Since it is at a kink. It is necessary that the string be wound a little on the peg in order to reduce the stress during vibration. Although, as experience shows, the strings usually break in the bridge))

[@funmachine3]

Say that 5 times @9:46

[@arseymcgee6644]

I would still wrap the string around the peg

[@jacksguitarplanet]

No. The whole idea of a locking tuner is to eliminate the wraps.

[@DaviDamir]

hang on...if the wheel is tight and you can loosen the string is the lock just holding the string in place and i can tune up and down....whats the point of the lock

[@MrRobert264]

Aesthetics only? I was thinking perhaps could help maintain the tone but I doubt it could help.

[@DMSProduktions]

ALL a gimmick!! I got an Artist LP with lockers, I took them off, & replaced them with a set of regular Gotohs! MUCH better! They do NOT lock your tuners! They just lock the STRING in the post!

[@strivingx67]

@@DMSProduktions Why do you say Gimmick? Just curious what the down side is to locking tuners like these? My Jackson is in need of new tuners, and have been thinking about this type. Appreciate your input. Thanks.

[@goldbug1974]

The locking tuners eliminate the wraps which does help tuning stability.

@@strivingx67 Well, MY experience has been LESS than favourable! It adds nothing to the tuning stability!
