    I think more mass=decrease of resonance, at least for acoustic instruments I heard this often time. The lighter the more resonance.
    I installed also locking tuners on my Epi ES295, but as you said, it makes string change faster, but I couldnt experience anything better regarding staying in tune. While I also dont have the problem with breaking strings, so wouldnt add locking tuners again.
    Will check out the trem you got here, as I stopped trying a Bigsby on my Les Paul Goldtop. Never had a pleasing result and also dont want to drill something new into the guitar. The Vibramate also didnt help. Also like the look of your tremolos arm.

    How close is the sound to your Japanese Duo Jet???

      Nowhere close. Filtertrons vs Dynasonics, different construction, different wiring. Tone is a subjective thing, back in the days I was a Tele player, and the Jet Club somehow reminds me of my Tele, while the Duo Jet has its own thing.

    So changing the tuners didn't improved tuning stability?

      Hard to say because, while swapping out tuners, I also added the tremolo. Let's put it this way, before the upgrade it was worse than my Telecaster and better than my Country Gent, and it still compares similarly to those two axes after the mod.
      From the perspective of physics, I wouldn't expect any tuning stability changes either. Let's consider decent quality tuners. Tuner is just a string's mounting point. The other point is the tailpiece. If you wouldn't expect tuning stability improvements from swapping out tailpieces, why would you expect the same from a tuner upgrade?

      @@kpnash I've bought same tuners but the hole needs bigger. Also the poles are shorter, as I see in in your guitar... If I can send some PM, I would be happy. Thanks
