## Description

DELETE: "Staggered post option gives each string the ideal break angle over the nut."

Review: Really nice with a very convenient mounting system - I just got these for a 15 year old MIM Fender Strat. I have had problems with it going out of tune really easily. I read the other reviews and liked what I saw so I gave them a try. One thing that is super nice about these is the mounting system. I did not have to do any drilling and the tabbed mounting plates make it so easy to get these installed and straight. They are staggered in three different heights. The locking mechanism works great. I recommend these tuners. One thing, and this may just be me, I find the tuning ratio to be really 'fast'. I have an Epiphone with Grover tuners and it is easy to get precise tuning with them. The HipShot seem like a tiny turn makes a bigger jump in the pitch. I believe these are 16:1. I can certainly live with it, I just need to get used to them. If you are looking for locking tuners, I would give these some consideration. They work great, the mounting system is awesome, and the price is fair. They feel good and solid.
Review: If you're doing a Squier, you'll need a drill and a narrow flat tip - The less good thing first - these will not drop into a Squier Telecaster. I bought the Squier to learn electric slide and the cheap tuners that come with it (I knew that) are a pain when you're going back and forth to Open D, Open G and standard.You're going to need a 13/64 or 10mm drill. You'll also need quite a small Phillips to get the old tuners off. You then need to pry out the cheap inserts for the stock posts. A narrow blade screwdriver will do that inserted INSIDE the insert. Just pry back and forth and when it's loose push it out from the back. Then clamp the headstock in something that won't mar it, an drill ought the holes. Once that's done, they're very easy to install and tune beautifully. Do expect to loosen the thumb wheels a LOT from the way they're shipped to get the bass strings in. All in all, great value for money. It's not Hipshot's fault that the Squier holes are undersized.

## Features

- These are genuine, factory-fresh Hipshot Enclosed Grip-Lock tuners, for 6 In-line headstocks, with mini buttons finished in Chrome and with full manufacturer warranty. These tuners have non-staggered posts, suitable for all 6-in line headstocks that tilt back. If your headstock tilts back, as on a Gibson Explorer, you need a 6 In-line non-staggered set.
- Hipshot keeps a massive inventory of Hipshot Grip-Lock guitar tuners both the open and enclosed styles, including the custom buttons, Left hand and 7-string and 8-string sets.
- Non- Staggered
- Installation - fits almost all guitars. The posts are 3/8 and fit a hole drilled as 10mm or 25/64". Everything you need to install including bushings and screws are included. The enclosed version of the tuner is the same footprint as the Schaller M6L mini tuner.
- Hipshot's Grip-Lock Enclosed Guitar Tuning Machines grip your strings for positive, accurate tuning. The new sleek design and ultra smooth 16:1 gear ratio give you a great combination of tuning stability, accuracy and good looks. The locking feature eliminates the need for multiple string wraps, and trem users no longer need a locking nut that deadens string sustain and all those annoying Allen screws and wrenches (added weight). Tired of winding strings? This is the answer. The Hipshot Grip-Lok

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genius and quality..and affordable!
*by R***R on March 12, 2020*

Ok, so there are many good reviews on these, and there's a very good reason. They are very good quality replacement machines for that guitar that just won't stay in tune. I installed a set (with staggered posts) on this cheap-but-good Slammer strat copy after making all other repairs. Holy smokes, what a difference! Now this $160 knock-off plays & sounds nearly as good as my $$$$ G&L! The 18:1 gearing allows VERY fine tuning and after setting the intonation, it NEVER. GOES. OUT. OF. TUNE. The mounting plate system is freaking genius, with NO SCREWS NEEDED to attach the tuners! And those quick-change spinny lock thingys...I mean shut up! I took a chance on these for about $50, and boy am I glad I did! Great value, and the instructions are clear. Now...a warning. If your headstock is thicker than 1/2" at the end machine, DO NOT BUY THE STAGGERED POST VERSION! Mine was 9/16" and (because I didn't want to have to return and re-order) I had to make a 9/16" countersink 1/16" deep to let the washer sit flush, buried in the headstock's wood. This was VERY tricky to do, but it was the only way to reveal the post hole for the string, since the last two posts are the shortest....and it worked perfectly! I do believe they offer an non-staggered model of these Hipshot tuners, in different configs (inline 6, or 3L/3R), so fear not! If you have a guitar that has good bones, but hate playing it because it won't stay in tune, GET THESE!
