This includes a Hiscox Lite Flite hardshell case. I use CTS pots, Jensen oil caps, and CRL switches - the best available. Your final top coats can be gloss, satin or matt. I finish all my guitars in nitrocellulose lacquer, pick from any colour and sunburst combination. Wudtone bridges (check out to find out more!) Your choice of pickups - my favourites are Radioshop pickups, they are hand wound in the UK and are the best pickups that I have ever used.
Hand-picked fingerboard of Rosewood, Ebony, Pau Ferro, Cocobolo - almost anything! This can be any radius including compound (I like 7.5 - 9.5 or 9 - 12) Premium graded, 1/4 sawn Maple neck finished in your choice of oil and wax or nitrocellulose lacquer - I prefer the oil and wax - it’s way smoother and faster! They were a drop in replacement and even look the same, but just have a locking mechanism (although it's different from the kind that you just bought).Premium, hand-picked Ash, Alder, Mahogany or Basswood body Regarding your tele, on mine, I switched them out with Fender Gotoh SD91 Vintage Style Locking Guitar Tuners 007-2272-000.
For now the Tele has slotted vintage and those are very easy to change strings on, and the 339 is not much of problem either. The vintage tuners seem a little more involved. I wanted to also change them on a ES-339 and MIM Tele but those have vintage tuners and it's not as straight-forward on which tuners will do the job. Changing strings is quick, easy and accurate. Locking tuners are certainly not a necessity but I like them. Also switched out a Strat with Fender locking tuners and that went very well, very straight forward. The Sperzel switch on the Fallout was slightly more taxing as I didn't realize the nut was not 10mm as the G&Ls were, but I worked around it without too much of a problem. The G&L locking tuners were a breeze on the Bluesboy 90 and Z-3.
So I made the switch on all three and it went quite smoothly. P.s., you currently have all of those G&L guitars in your collection? However, I did just acquire an older SB-1 bass, and it definitely has open tuners on it, without the covers, so I assume there must be some benefits to using them. I was considering putting them on one of my G&Ls but just based on appearance, I don't really like the way they look. Is there any advantage of open tuners? I ended up with a set of Hipshot open locking tuners. What you called Schaller Open but with a cover, I would have called closed because they had the cover, thus the gears were not "open". Your resource on tuners is helpful, and I realised that I apparently didn't completely understand the difference between open and closed tuners. Oh, and one other option that wouldn't require any modification of the guitar (i.e., drilling) would be Hipshot locking tuners with the universal mounting plate. After getting the Squier Vintage Modified Tele, I formed some fast. Either would work but, if you get staggered, you don't need string trees. both have Gotoh/All Parts chrome locking tuners. The only other thing to consider is that some of the 6 inline type are staggered and some are all of the same height. If it happens to have the ez-mount system and there isn't already a hole there, you would either need to get some of the same or you would need to drill a hole (and the location of the hole is different for Sperzel versus G&L/Schaller tuners). If it has a mounting pin, any Sperzel tuner would fit it.
If I was you, I would remove one of the existing tuners to see what's underneath. However, they also have an "ez-mount" system that doesn't have a mounting pin. Ideally you would want to get 6 inline, but they are actually reversible, so a set of 3 + 3 could be turned into 6 inline. On Sperzels, the mounting pin is always in the same place so, if they have one, various sets should be interchangeable. You can find more on tuning machines used by G&L throughout time here. The latter should have a matte grey finish and have "Sperzel" engraved on the casing of the tuning machine. So yes, stick to G&L Locking tuners for your US made Bluesboy 90 and Z-3, and use Sperzels for the Fallout. They differ slightly between brands but not between locking and non-locking tuners of the same brand. The restrictive factor is the number and position of location pins on these tuners.
#GOTOH VINTAGE LOCKING TUNERS BLUEX MAC#
I see a set on Stew Mac for in-line Sperzel locking tuners and I'm wondering if these are the ones. If it's Sperzel, how do I determine which ones to buy. Does this mean I have to go with Sperzel locking tuners? Or will G&L's do the job. The third guitar is a Fallout and after looking up my stat sheet I find that it has Sperzel tuners. Two have G&L standard tuners, a Bluesboy 90 and a Z-3, so I'm assuming that's an easy swap using the G&L locking tuners on its web site. I have three G&L USA guitars and I've decided to replace the tuners with locking tuners.
