Thanks for asking, though. there *are* other benefits outside of the string-changing speed, the person just asked why it made string changing faster - your realization is incomplete.

Members EmgEsp Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 Are you saying with locking tuners you don't need to give the string some slack while tuning? Meaning just pull it through the hole all the way and tighten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phyrexia Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 What the {censored}? You smart off when I suggest an alternative to locking tuners, then act high and mighty and tell me there's more to it. Then when I ask you what you're talking about you act a fool again. Thanks for your wonderful contribution to this thread. I want you to suck my dick, is what I want you to do. Now what the {censored} else is the point of locking tuners if all they do is lock the string in place at the peg? If you know what you're talking about then just {censored}ing say it.

Members shredhead666 Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 Originally posted by tlbonehead Not on any of my Gibby's. Not sure what I'd upgrade to with hardware. Certainly I've upgraded tuners,pickups,electronics on cheaper guitars. I'm telling you man, locking tuners and one of those tailpieces with the fine tuners make quite a bit of difference with tuning stability on those guitars. I also don't care much for the stock p'ups that Les Pauls come with. I've got Duncans in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shredhead666 Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 Originally posted by tlbonehead Yes but there is this big misnomer that locking tuners are useful as a replacement for a locking nut....for some reason. Yeah no kidding. A friend of mine got a set thinking the same thing, and the first time he divebombed with the trem, the strings all popped out of the nut slots. I had a good laugh.
