5 of 5 Squier Bullet Strat Upgrade March 14, 2017
Reviewer: W.A. Cooper from .United Kingdom  
I installed my new, non-staggered kit today, and it is a massive improvement.

Wasn’t too tricky ether, even if not quite a straightforward swap.

Found a few slight variations/additions to our conversation: Hope that this reply might help inform following buyers.

1. I removed the original tuners without effort, and pushed out the old bushings using an allen key of a similar size. Little effort needed.

2. The old screw holes could be easily filled using cocktail sticks, snapping them off in the holes, trimming the top with a sharp knife and using 600 grip sand paper to smooth it off.

3. The original holes in my headstock seem to be 8 mm, rather than 8.5 mm. The new tuners would not fit.

4. Out with the micrometer - I Measured the new set of Hipshot locking tuners at shaft width of 8.67 mm so I re - drilled the holes to 9 mm. Easy work, took a few moments, I didn’t need a pillar drill or any other trick gear.

5. The adapter plates with their lipped sides might be easy to use, but I preferred not to use them, but to to line up the new tuners with a straight edge and pre-drill a pilot hole and screw them into place. It just looks better, and its more elegant.

If i can do this, anyone can - so I hope that this might help future buyers.
Brilliant kit.

5 of 5 warmoth February 16, 2016
Reviewer: Håvard from Sweden  
I bought these as replacement tuners for my warmoth strat which I first equipped with some cheap tuners.

I can only say that the hipshot tuners has been a very pleasant surprize and are without doubt the best tuners I've ever had. The locking function on these are robust and easy to access and use. Tuning the strings are a smooth operation and the tuners lets you do it with highest accuracy.

If I would throw the dice, I would give it a 6 out of 6.

5 of 5 Hagstrom H2 February 16, 2016
Reviewer: Steve Schurmann from US  
Bought these to replace the worn out original tuners on my '64 Hagstrom H2. Tuning stability is greatly increased, and the UMPs meant I didn't have to drill into the vintage headstock. Great product.
