This is a helpful video, thanks. I just bought a new Stratocaster kit, and want to upgrade the tuners. What is the difference between grip lock open vs closed? What do you recommend? Thanks!
If you have a string tree on your guitar (the clip that holds down the E&B and sometimes one for the D&G), a staggered set of tuners would improve the guitar.
I think the John 5 Tele has modern style tuners. You should check out this article to make sure. hipshot.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045898311-Which-tuning-machines-fit-a-Squire-Tele-
Be great if i could get the ones i wanted in the uk without the shipping price of 56 dollars.. no dealers where i live stock the black vintage style (8.5mm), staggered post tuners. Ive looked and looked and the only place i can find them is your site. Looks like ill have to go without!
I really wished I would have watched this video before drilling out my guitar to 10 mm

Have you looked at BTN music? They are very good about special ordering for customers.
