I use Hipshot locking tuners with the upgrade kit since there are no issues with screws. However these tuners are interesting looking and only $69.99,

@@murpsman I like the mounting plates with hipshots, their prices have been going up though, and so have Gotoh. These barrel shaped pegs though got my attention. I like the modern look.

[@EXSENTRIX]

@baritonegoatstudio man these would be badass on your baritone Firefly LP & SG guitars too.

[@TheLowString]

I’ve seen these on some of the KM signatures from Schecter. They look cool

[@Callsign_Kishin]

I know the tuners are categorized specifically for each headstock type, but do you think these would work on an inline 6 headstock? Such as a jazzmaster or telecaster?

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

@@Callsign_Kishin they do make these for 6 in line headstocks. The main question is what configuration you have in terms of screws and post holes. These won’t fit vintage style 8mm hole tuners. The type with unthreaded collars. They do also make these in a 2-pin fender style design. But they are modern 10mm post a with threaded collars. www.guyker.com/products/guyker-gk-new-434sp-tuning-machines-for-fender-st-guitar?ref=BTGSTUDIO

You can take and rip the seams of a sandwich baggy ....making it 1 flat plane....and drape it over the hardware. Screw,bolts,potentiometer, jacks etcetera...then use your box wrench,screwdriver,socket,etc to loosen or tighten....and voila , no more scratched hardware or finishes....

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

@@crock2434 on most applications I like to use a small spanner wrench with a felt bottom. Mainly for pots and switches. My main 10mm wrench is a high polish chrome snap-on, safe for metal contact. But I agree, If you have to use any sort of metal tool, especially rough galvanized, find something to buffer the tool. The best thing for making sure you don’t damage hardware is to never overtighten things! Most things on a guitar should require minimal torque to loosen.

I didn't knew this kind of locking tuners. Really interesting. They're looking cool. Thank you for this information.

[@Shred_Rocket]

Dude, a little rough handling your guitar, I found myself cringing as you worked the wrench.

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

@@Shred_Rocket sounded worse that it was. Compressor on the mic made every tap and clink sound way louder or rougher than it was. I was being fairly light handed actually since nothing was overly tightened. You can also use a spanner wrench if you have one, they typically are made out of aluminum or much lighter steel. My snap-on wrench is a bit solid! *No wood or finish was harmed in the making of this content*
