    Not a universal mounting plate.

    The tuners have a 10mm sleeve to make sure your guitar has the correct sized headstock or you will be reaming it to size. The included ump system did not work on my Yamaha Pacifica 012. The factory holes in the headstock were too far apart to mount more than 2 tuners at a time. They do come with screws and a mounting hole so that is how I had to attach them. It worked but it required drilling new pilot holes and screwing the tuners down. The tuners were staggered and I was able to remove the factory string tree. They are smooth and very precise so tuning to your desired pitch is easy. The locking pins made my string change a breeze. They hold the strings in tight without pinching the thinner strings like my Fender tuners do. High quality fit and finish as well. Beautiful tuners.

    Maybe...

    I can recommend actual hipshot griplock tuners. I’m not sure these were genuine. They were in a different shaped box, smaller than the ones I’ve gotten before. The screws are junk. I predrilled like I always do and two broke off before I even got close to tight. I’ve literally put hundreds of tuners on guitars so it’s not like I’m just going to randomly forget how tiny those screws are. They were substandard which is the second thing about these which makes them suspect. Tuners seemed ok on cursory look. Like I said, genuine hipshot griplock tuners are the bees knees.

  • Great tuners....but...

    Great tuners however they need to re-engineer to take the screw hole down 1/8". Extending the "V" with the screw hole would allow a couple things: perfect alignment with screw holes for Gibson Les Paul, SG and other Gibson guitars that have factory Grover Tuners, and - you can better get a screw driver on the screw without butting against the locking wheel. These tuners do keep the strings tuned and I find them a bit better than Grover Locking Tuners. The shafts do fit the headstock where Grover tuners were removed. Did not use the backing plates as they did nothing for the install on a Gibson Les Paul where Grover loving tuners were removed. Not sure on alignment for other guitars - just passing on for those looking for a Les Paul replacement tuner.

  • Pro player. Excellent upgrade! Easy install.

    10-15 minutes tops to install. Don't tighten down too tight on headstock. The plates work great. No redrilling. I think the plates work better than the holes anyway. These are smooth, great looking, and a good upgrade for any level guitar player. I go through over 100 sets of strings a year. These make the job even faster and your guitar stays in tune great. I have these on two guitars now and will eventually replace 3 more guitars tuners with these.

  • Husband loves these tuners!

    I bought these as a gift to upgrade the squier jazzmaster I bought my husband for Christmas. He had no problem installing the tuners at all - the UMP kit made it easy and quick. Now that he has the locking staggered tuners on, he says his guitar feels, plays, and sounds even better than before. He couldn't believe that they would make such a big difference, but now he wants to get some for all his other guitars too! This is a great product at an amazing value - if you're thinking about purchasing, DO IT! You won't regret it!

  • Great Fit on a Squier Affinity Telecaster!

    These fit perfectly my Squier Affinity Telecaster 2021 guitar! No drilling... drop in replacement using the Universal Mounting Plate provided by Hipshot. Very easy to change strings now and get tuned up quickly!

  • Best locking tuners so far

    These are GREAT. They fit almost any guitar I have and work great. I'm swapping my stock tuners for these. Makes a re-string really quick and easy.

  • Wrong model but excellent product.

    Great product. Was not disappointed. Not what I thought I ordered and the return process was too cumbersome so I kept them and ordered the correct item. They're very nice and I'm sure I'll find a use someday.

  • Nice tight accurite tuning machines.

    Ordered 2 sets to replace tuners on a squier and a cort. I really like them the locking mechenism works well and tuners r smooth and acrurite. I will be putting them on every guitar that needs an uprade. The ump really makes it easy to install took less tyen 15 mins to remove the old ones ajd install and restring with the hipshots. I have the staggard tuners on the squier and noticed the high e string hole is partially hidden by the tuner nut. It wasnt an issue though and works perfect. As with locking tuners theres no reason to wind the string around tge post.

    Everything about these tuners is Top Shelf! They were packaged very securely, contained installation options hardware, and were very simple and easy to put on. They stay where they are supposed to stay and do what they are supposed to do very accurately, and they look SUPER !!! I am more than pleased with these marvelous tuners - Thanks A Million, Hipshot!
