Gordy01 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hello All, I changed my tuners to locking Grovers and I took some pics. It's real easy, took about an hour. Here are the originals Use a 10 mm wrench. New Tuners In Box Be careful with the small Phillips. Don't scratch the finish!! New Tuners almost in!! Strung up in about an hour. Just cut the ends off.

timandbob Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Very nice. How much are the locking grovers? And I'm a novice -- what are the originals you have on there before your replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideMan Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Not to pull you off topic, but what are you using for a camera? Nice sharp closeups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy01 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'll answer both questions. The old tuners were Grover Rotomatics. Actually the guitar was new in November of last year. The new tuners cost me 85 Canadian dollars plus tax at Long & McQuade. The camera is a Fuji S2000 HD. I set it for close up work and these are the results. I was holding the camera with one hand and holding the screwdriver with the other in one of the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 +1 on the pics, looks nice. Stew/Mac has the chrome full size locking rotomatics for $62.50, ($72.19 for gold) + shipping although they may be backordered: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tuners/Guitar,_solid_peghead_tuners/Grover_Full-size_Rotomatics.html There's more than one type of locking Grovers, although the thumbwheel versions seem to be the most popular. S/M appears to have an exclusive on that paricular model (at least in the states), SW, MF and the others I've looked at don't seem to carry them.

Gordy01 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I looked around online but couldn't find what I needed. In Canada it seems as if Grover keeps a tight rein on who sells their tuners. Actually it was good that I could look at a set to see if it would fit. They were silver, and the gold had to be ordered, but I could see that they fit.
