Why non locking tuners? Locking tuners is one of my main loves of EBMM

Beautiful for sure. Yet another reason why the Vault is a dangerous place . I also wondered the same thing.....

Yea, lucky for me it did not have locking tuners or I would have grabbed it, vault is dangerous

Ask if they might change them out for you. It's a reasonable request.

 

[Rbg]

I agree, call them, I bet they would or include a set for free. It feels so nice to "spend someones else money" haha

 

[beej]

I wonder if it was originally intended for someone and they didn't want locking tuners?

 

[Sweat]

LOL, I need a guitar like I need a hole in the head

Beej, that is a possibility , did not think of that!

 

[Sweat]

So I sent an email asking about the locking tuners, we will see

Locking tuners IMHO are more of a convenience when changing strings than anything. I don't think they actually help with tuning stability over conventional tuners if you wind the string correctly. I think most tuning issues come at the nut or the bridge, not the tuners. ymmv.

Sorry have to disagree, locking tuners IMO do provide better tuning stability, I have a LP non locking and have to tune it constantly where I have EBMM with locking, one I rarely play and it is in tune

Also makes string changes a breeze and easier to get back in tune after a string change

I do need a hole in the head.
I put locking tuners on my silhouette, bass guitar.. with very little modification, it was an easy upgrade.
Mr. Mojo... Could you post a picture of your neptune blue?Silhouette special please

Yes, Sir.
Although it's difficult to catch the colour correctly.
