Great Pick !
I bought these to replace the locked up tuners on my MIM Hendrix Strat. They fit like a glove, work smoothly and have the center hole for the string so that there are no sharp wires. Would buy again. Very nice. Thanks!

Very Nice Inexpensive Tuners!
Figured I'd try these gold vintage tuners + the 10mm adapters to replace stock ones on an older squire strat. Installed easily, just had to drill new holes for the mounting screws. (just take care not to drill too deep and go thru the headstock like me on the first one) These seem secure, operate very smoothly, and so far been staying in tune. Time will tell, but very satisfied with these low priced tuners. String installation is now a breeze! A great choice if you don't want to pay double for name brand tuners. Actually gonna get a nickel set for a bullet tele. Had to use a rat tail file on my 10mm holes a bit to press the adapter bushings more easily. (you only need the $10 adaptor bushings if you have 10mm holes)

I used these to convert a cheap short scale bass to a bass vi ish thing.
They work great for what they are (inexpensive tuners), even with the heavy bass VI strings. I've only been using them for ~3 weeks, so time may change that...but so far it stays in tune perfectly and the tuners are smooth. They are better than some of the tuners that have come on cheap guitars I've owned for sure, but not as nice as 'name brand' ones that cost 2-4x the price.

Low cost, quite good.
I had purchased an inexpensive guitar and WoW... the tuners were horrible. Could barely turn 2 of them. *Guitar body, finish and neck were decent for the price... I purchased these as they appeared to be identical. (close...) When I removed them from the package and spun them around the first time I could tell a world of difference in quality. These are not fancy but more than acceptable and turned a guitar I wanted but could hardly use into a buy I didn't regret.

Got these for a cheap mustang , work as smooth as the fender road worn that I have on other guitars. Very satisfied! 🤠

So far they're great!
I've owned an SX SST57 for over ten years now and two of the stock tuners fought me every bit of the way. They would keep tune, that's why I never bothered changing them before, but getting them to pitch was always a struggle. Finally I had enough and decided to replace the lot of them. I wanted to expand upon the guitar's vintage design by buying vintage style tuners. I checked quite a few of the vintage style tuners, read the reviews and after finding 10mm ferrules to assure they would fit my guitar I purchased these. When they arrived I was too excited and adopted the "measure once, cut as many times as it takes to get the job done" method. I can only blame myself. I may have misaligned the 6th and 5th string tuners, but they all work perfectly so far. No binding, no grinding and they hold tune pretty well. If you own an SX strat and want a vintage style set of tuners, I highly suggest these AND a set of 10mm ferrules, of course.

Not a Perfect Kluson Clone but One Could Not Expect Better For The Price
These are certainly worth the money and considering this, these are HIGHLY recommended. Only shortcomings are :1. The retaining hole the string is inserted in before tuning is a noticeably more shallow than one finds on Kluson or Fender Kluson type, split shaft, vintage style tuners. It makes winding just a little more tricky but not bad enough to cause slipping or failure to retain.2. The gear ratio takes a bit more winding to reach pitch than one would expect with Klusons or high quality clones. In some cases this would allow greater accuracy in locating perfect tune but that was never a problem with standard Kluson gear ratios. Not something that will affect your playing, just expect to put in just a little more elbow (or wrist) grease than you would if you are used to Kluson. Not at all a deal breaker, just a small compromise the price would certainly make up for.Not a shortcoming IMO, something I'd already anticipated but if you are replacing some of the more modern tuners used on Squier and Fender guitars, you'll need conversion bushings for tuner ferrules to adapt these smaller, vintage (Kluson) style tuners, which have a 6mm or 15/64" string post, to a modern 3/8 inch or 10mm peg hole that many of the newer tuner require. You have to use the conversion bushing ferrules with these tuners because most modern tuners use a bigger hole in your guitar's headstock and these will rattle around and be pulled to the side by string tension.Again, no big deal... you can them here for about $6 for Chinese aftermarket ferrule bushings or $10-$15 for a little better quality conversion ferrules that also may look a little more "vintage correct" (if that matters to you) from StewMac, AllParts, etc... Either will function just fine.Regardless of the slight compromises of differences between these Kluson clones and Kluson's new Deluxe Series reproduction of the "single line", vintage style 6-In-Line Tuners at $65, or the original 1960's, vintage Kluson "single line" tuners that will cost you $500 -$1000, depending on condition...the differnces become easily forgettable when you consider all you paid was a lousy $21 bucks for these, that look almost identicle and function "almost" identically as well as real Klusons. You get 98% of appearance and function for original Klusons 2% of the cost. One of the best gear bargains you'll ever find. I have old Fenders with the originals and I'm perfectly happy with these as well.Rating - 4.9 Stars Out Of 5

Very pleased!
Purchased to mod a Squire Bullet Strat. I love the vintage style tuners, the easiest to restring in my opinion. The aged white buttons match the guitars pickguard perfectly for a really unique look. Super fast shipping and great price. Will order more. 10/10.

Received no “end” tuners
Ordered the lefty plastic button tuners. Arrived. Seemed good quality. Screws instead of pins in the product photo.However they are unusable as the “first” and “last” tuners with the metal fixing tab were missing. These were all “middle four” tuners with notches for screws.Returned and reordered hoping this was a one off mistake.UPDATE: both packs of left handed tuners had no “ends”. Poor, and makes them totally unusable.
