Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster tuners
Hi, can anyone tell me what locking tuners will be a direct drop-in replacement for my SJMJM stock tuners, without needing drilling? What's the right ratio and hole size? Thanks!

Re: Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster tuners
See the post above for the actual answer to your question. With that being said, the stock JMJM tuners are very well made and don't *need* replacing. Are you having tuning issues? If so, you're likely looking at the wrong place for the source of the problem.suburbanexplorer wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:53 amHi, can anyone tell me what locking tuners will be a direct drop-in replacement for my SJMJM stock tuners, without needing drilling?

[NOTE: I fully expect LarryMal to give me an earful, but I do think it's worth asking since I see people buying locking tuners to fix tuning stability issues well over half the time.]

Thanks a lot for the replies. The tuning issues aren't too bad, but I might change the nut at some point. Locking tuners are more a personal preference for faster string changes (and weirdly, I like the weight...)

for vintage style locking tuners, I like Wilkinson EZ-Lok, but they don't add any additional weight.suburbanexplorer wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 4:28 amThanks a lot for the replies.
