Tuners/Machine Heads Black Right Handed WJ05 EZ-LOK (Set of 6) for Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jackson, Ibanez, BC Rich, Schecter, Electric Guitar (Right Handed, Black)

The photos are taken from my review of the Squier Standard Strat in which I noted that I had no alternative other than to fit tuners other than the official Fender locking type. As an alternative, the Wilkinsons work very well but are a bit fiddly to use the first time you restring. Once you are familiar with the system they hold tuning very well indeed without any sign of string slippage. The Squier came from new fitted with 9's and was restyrung with 11's. These cause no problems with the tuners and any slight tweaks to tuning that are needed are always because of changes in room temperature etc. The tuners themselves are rock solid.

Perfect. As advertised! Delivered promptly, very good quality and just what I needed

Been buying Wilkinson parts for years. However, I think that expecting the quality we used to get with Wilkinson parts is an ambitious expectation these days, probably due to the fact they are made in China. Five of the six tuners work well, the sixth is almost unusable. It's as stiff as hell, even easing the peg screw makes no difference, and when turning it suddenly just loosens up with no engagement with the gear. So I've had to keep turning the peg until I find a spot where it actually turns the shaft of the tuner. I don't know whether this just sloppy manufacturing (but I suspect that it is) or it's just what we should expect these days. Do I recommend, well, you might be lucky and get a good set, but I wouldn't bank on it.

Good quality and easy to install

Great tuners
