Restringing has never been easier

Restringing has never been easier
I love my guitar, my Ibanez AZES-40 is extremely versatile. For the price, it's hands down the best HSS out there. Now there's just one gripe that both myself and many others have regarding this guitar. The tuning pegs are horrendous. It realistically takes 6 weeks for my strings to stay in tune. Not only that, but the tuning pegs are incredibly challenging to restring because the hole is on top instead of on the side.Now these tuning pegs are amazing. I'm not even kidding when I say that in 10 minutes my strings were in tune and remained that way. The auto clipping feature is a game changer. And I've never reinstalled my strings that quickly ever before. I've gone from despising restringing my guitar to barely even thinking about it. I used to use Daddario's XT's for the longer life span, now I can honestly use any string I want, regardless of lifespan due to how easy it is to restring this guitar. If you have bad tuning pegs are just want to simplify the restringing process, I highly recommend these tuning pegs.I would buy these again hands down.

Put these in a G&L Legacy Tribute. Had to drive the rear mounting screws in as the stock tuners didn’t have these. But very easy install. Stays in tune great, auto-trim feature is was more helpful than I thought. I wouldn’t hesitate to put these on my other guitars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tuners, auto trim is a great feature, but beware cheap screws.
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021
The tuners are great. They were a direct fit to my 30ish year old epiphone strat. They hold tuning really well and I actually like the auto trim feature. It makes string changes much faster and cuts down on the tools one needs to make string changes.

I do have to make one complaint. The screws that come with the kit are very cheap and I had half of them fail on me. Two snapped in half (and are currently stuck in my headstock) and one head stripped out and only drove half way in. Fortunately for me I bought a guitar second hand and upgraded it so I was more concerned with the tuners working well than it looking pretty or being absolutely perfect. In my case this isn’t a big deal as they work perfectly even though things didn’t work out 100%. I can see how someone upgrading their favorite guitar would be upset by this so my advice is know that the screws aren’t very good quality and if you are using a drill to drive in the new screws, you need to use a very VERY low torque setting. Mine seemed to work ok on a 3 but when I went up to 8 I very single one had some sort of failure.

The screw quality is the only reason I didn’t leave five stares.

Se los puse a mi Guitarra eléctrica Cort X100, le quedaron perfectamente, No se tuvo que perforar la madera ni nada, la estabilidad de la afinación mejoró muchísimo, se nota esta mejora de la estabilidad de la afinación al usar la palanca de tremolo. Éstos Locking tuners D'addario son tan buenos como los locking tuners de marcas como Gotoh, Grover, Schaller y otros, son de muy buena calidad, y como ya lo he dicho varias veces, la estabilidad en la afinación mejora por mucho.

5.0 out of 5 stars Plug and Play on a Squire Affinity Strat + Epiphone Explorer
Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2021
Best upgrade I've bought so far...
Quality of my guitar experience went through the roof!!

Things to know about me
1. I'm new to guitar so I completely SUCK at changing strings and hate doing it
2. I'm older-ish and have other time commitments outside of guitar (I'll never rival EVH)
3. I have four guitars and the strings are generally changed because I feel I need to practice changing them and not from wear
4. the acoustic guitar may make the sounds of God, but the unwound strings are what Satan brought to the design meeting

No amount of YouTube will get me confident in changing strings because -without unnecessary changes- I just don't go through them very quickly. And when I do, the time lapse would show me aging LOL. Then I saw this product and I decided to take a chance as it seemed the worst was I may have to enlarge the post holes which is pretty easy. Sounds easy and who doesn't like new tools?

Note: product comes with ZERO instructions so what follows is my experience for a 2020 Squire Affinity Stratocaster and a 2020 Epiphone Explorer...

Remove old new strings. Removed the stock tuners (loosened by hand) and noticed the D'Addario's have a tiny screw at the back not present on either the Affinity or the Explorer. So I installed the tuners -posts dropped right in easy peasy- and tightened with a 12mm socket then predrilled rear screw hole (Affinity only) using 1/8" bit through screw hole. I think if you kept the collar tight you wouldn't need the screw but it may come loose over time due to tension (testing on the Explorer). Repeat 5x then restring guitar. The moment of truth... insert string -low E- into post hole, remove slack and tighten locking knob to hold string. Begin winding and notice gets very hard to turn as if cross threaded. Kept turning key...

SNAP! IT CUT THE STRING! Immediately becomes easy to turn key. Repeat 5x, Tune to pitch.

OMG, I love them. Why aren't these or similar standard on all guitars? It made 1/3 of my accessories unnecessary. I'd pay for them... in fact I did, because I immediately went back to Amazon and bought 3 more sets for my other guitars. Great outstanding product and now I don't fear needing new strings. Will update in a few days once other sets come and I install them (one more 6-inilne and 2 are 3+3 so may do a review there too). Thanks for reading and I hope this helps you decide one way or the other but I'd bet you'll love them too. Adios.
