M0rtis Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hello everyone! I own a 1994 s-300 strat. It is not staying in tune. The tuners appear to be missing some plastic bushings most likely from age. I'm not the original owner. I've looked at a few websites, and have yet to see a suitable replacement. If anyone has had luck with doing this I'd like to know what type they used. I'm not afraid to drill out the holes to make them bigger. Thanks for reading!

creekster52 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 These are some originals on Ebay: My link Unless you desire to use original replacements, I would watch Ebay for a good deal on a set of Sperzel locking tuners, or some other brand of locking tuners. Sperzels require a 10mm peg hole. It is very easy to accidently blow out the backside of the pegholes when drilling them out, so care must be taken. It helps to use a backing block when drilling, or to bevel (countersink) the the holes to 10mm before drilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the local Guitar center to see if the Fender ones would work. [They don't] Like these: http://www.amazon[dot]com/Fender-099-0818-100-Locking-Tuners-Chrome/dp/B000L6GD04/ref=pd_cp_MI_0 I'll keep looking, but if anyone has a suggestion .. that'd be great.

M0rtis Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 SOLVED! Went to my local Guitar center.. they have Ping P2652 6-in-line Screwless Mount Geared 6-left/Chrome Electric Guitar Part in stock. Fits perfectly. Although they are not locking tuners.. I'll worry about that on my next "new" guitar. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
