Question Locking tuners for early Silo

[edstorer]

I have two 1991 Silhouettes with 6-bolt necks. They have standard tuning pegs that I would like to replace with lockers. Can somebody tell me if there is a locking peg available that would install without drilling new holes?

Thanks!

I've done this on my old Morse and Albert Lee.

The locking Schaller tuners are close. They'll fit, but you'll need to drill little pilot holes in the back of the headstock for the screws that hold them in place. The old holes will mostly be hidden by the new tuners, but you'll be able to see them on an angle. You can see what I mean here:

BTW, you can buy the new tuners directly from EBMM.

You can get the tuners cheaper here.
