Stupid question but I was always under the impression that Fender tuners have a single pin attachment. Was looking for some replacement locking tuners and didn't really want to drill new holes which limited the choice to some Fender single pin tuners and Hipshots which have that universal mounting plates.
However, a last minute google search seems to show that the Fender Special Strat (2009/2010) came with two pin tuners and so do many of the modern Fenders. Anyone with any practical experience could confirm? "Unscrew and check" is the right answer but the guitar is currently with my friend.
More generally, what are your favourite 6 in line locking tuners? Nothing too fancy, just for somewhat easier string change and hopefully better stability with the tremolo (I think this is contested?)

Anyway, I have a couple of Am Specials and Highway 1''s and they are definitely two pin mount. I've got the Fender locking tuners on mine (made by Ping Well as noted above - Schaller haven't made the Fender branded ones for well over a decade). Fitting them was easy.

@BBillDL said: I'm actually quite tempted by the cheap ones from Guyker/Musiclily but might just buy something "proper". Always thought Sperzel were top but seems like some people say are a bit meh
