GOTOH locking machine heads.

My first experience with locking tuners was a few years back when I fitted some Schallers to a guitar I was modifying. I thought they were wonderful and subconsciously vowed to fit them to all my future guitars.

When I had to re-string a more recent guitar I decided to change the tuners but couldn't find the same Schallers in gold three-a-side so I, reluctantly, got some GOTOHs. They are fantastic - as soon as I saw them in their clear plastic packing I was smitten. Much better than the Schallers - which were perfectly lovely. So smitten that when I recently bought a 12 string I got myself two sets to install when I need to change strings - I haven't experienced it yet, but assume it'll be a bit of a pain and a lot easier with locking tuners - and can you imagine how fab 12 of them will look!!

  • Mmmm, lovely. Where did you get them? I recall them being a bit spendy compared to others.

    The gold ones came from Glued to Music via ebay, they were out of stock when I was looking for the 12 string and so got the chrome ones from WD Music £65 for 6 and the gold a bit more - £15 less than the Schallers so I don't consider them expensive.

  • Cheers, I haven't looked since they first came out, and they were a lot more back then IIRC!
