Question: Will these fit on telecaster special made in Mexico? What does it mean by retrofitted?
- asked on Apr 23, 2024
Answer: As noted in the description, these can work on most Mexican Strat or Teles.

Retrofitted means they may require professional installation, as they are not designed specifically for these guitars.

Talk to your local guitar tech for details.

These may work, but not in the existing holes.

Question: Can I put these on a Squier Sonic Esquire neck?
- asked on Apr 20, 2025
Answer: No, standard Fender locking tuners designed for Stratocasters and Telecasters will not fit directly on a Squier Sonic Esquire. Squier Sonic Esquire guitars use a different headstock configuration and tuner mounting system, and Fender locking tuners are not a direct drop-in replacement.

Locking tuners on 2001 American Series Strat

I finally got around this week to considering, purchasing, and installing Fender locking tuners on my 2001 American Series Strat. My only regret is that I wish I had done this conversion 22 years ago. The original tuners were OK and did me for 23 years of gigging. But once it was time to have the Frets dressed after so many years, I decided to give the locking tuners a try. It’s now certainly much better at remaining in tune even when hitting the whammy bar. . I anticipate that changing strings will be much easier and faster. The locking tuners are a great upgrade for an older Strat. I highly recommend them. Thanks to Scarborough Ontario L&M For advice and installation.

J\'ai une Stratocaster MIM et j\'ai vulu acheter ces machines car j\'ai des problèmes d\'intination et ma procédure de changer les cordes était hyper-compliquée.
Comme j\'ai lu que certaines personne ont dû percer des trous à cause des \"pins\" sur les machines, J\'ai contacté par courriel le gérant du magasin à Laval et lui envoyé les photos de mes machines d\'origines. Il m\'a confirmé que ces \"locking\" machines étaient compatibles avec ma guitare sans aucun problème. et, une fois les reçues, j\'ai vu qu\'elles étaient pareilles aux miennes (les \"pins\" au même endroit que les trous existants). Installation a été. très facile et le montage des chordes très rapide. Excellent achat!

I missed these tuners in November 2020 (they were no more in stock). Then, when my string broke recently, I ordered them because my stringing procedure was overcomplicated.
I wasn\'t sure whether they will fit my MIM Fender Stratocaster because I read that they had two pins and that some people had to drill two small holes to make them work.
I contacted the Laval store manager and sent him photos of my original tuners and he confirmed that the new one will be OK.
I received them and mounted with absolutely no problem. They fit perfectly my guitar and make it easier to restring. Great buy!

You get what you pay for i love the ratio when tuning , the finish, staggered which is important, Ive used these on guitar projects and replaced my Fender none locking with fender locking i love them, i bit of work if you dont have 2 guide holes pre drilled , take your time and measure 3 times then drill your guide holes. I find these pricey but i always end up buying these fender locking. i did 3.5 for value, like i said "you get what you pay for" note: great upgrade for keeping stock fender trems in tune .

I installed the Fender staggered locking tuners in my American Pro II Stratocaster and I can honestly say that the process was too easy. I only required a 10mm socket and the install was seamless and quick similar to doing a string change. The tuners are smooth and very stable. I've noticed an increase in tuning stability especially when using the whammy bar. No regrets whatsoever in choosing the upgrade and they look great.

I installed these in my MIM strat. Easy drop-in installation, no modification required. Smoother action than the stock tuners, which were jumpy. Makes string changes a breeze, and they look great.
