Who uses Sperzels?


the stranger

Recommended Posts

I have these on almost all my guitars. The only two I don't have them on is the Strat (tuners are good enough and I don't want to hack up the Strat), and a cheap Warlock that I put some Washburn locking tuners on (I got the set cheap on ebay).

I installed a set of Sperzel's locking tuners on a Strat and they work fine. One nice advantage is that they come in staggered heights with the wherein the 1st and 2nd string tuners are very low which enabled me to eliminate the string tree.

I've got them on my Carvin Bolt-T, and I put them on the 12-string I recently build. I used the staggered height ones on the 12-string (head not a tilt back), but it wasn't enough, the low A (4th string from the nut) wouldn't stay put, so I still had to put on a string retainer.

:idea: Hey, Jeff, would shimming that particular tuner from the rear help to sharpen the string-angle behind the nut? If necessary, a "spotface" or light countersink on the face as well? -k

Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do?

I'm content with the retainer, besides, if I did anything that made it unnecessary, I'd have a couple of holes to patch on the face of the headstock.
