What are the differences between the three? Performances pros and cons?

I'm gonna add black hardware to my black MIM Strat with a black pickguard and knobs, I'm adding a Black Gotoh bridge, and am looking and tuning keys. Haven't looked for a jackplate just yet.

I've got Spurzels on my SG. They rule pretty hard.

I am not sure the difference between the three. I do have Fender Schallers on my Fender Strat. I like them a lot. I also like the Vintage tuners that are on my Squier. I have zero tuning issues and changing strings takes half the time it used to.

I have alot of guitars and allmost all have spezels! They are your best bet. I actually have seen the factory where they are made right here in cleveland ohio and they are all percision made! I have never had a problem with them and once i lost a peice when i was assembling them on a guitar and they sent me a replacement peice free of charge and next day! Great company and even better product.

Yeah, mine held up great on tour. Getting knocked around, the Spurzel tuners are really stout, they added a bit more mass to my SG's headstock, or at least more than the crap assed plastic Gibson ones.

I haven't owned all three. They're all good, it's personal preference.

I've used sperzels on my strat for the last 10 years or so. Love them, the fine tuning you can do with them, the extra mass on the headstock, the look of the pegs, everything. The knob you turn on the back is a bit thin and might dig into your fingers at first, if you have girly hands. Other than that, I'm partial to sperzel.

I put sperzels on my new Gretsch 6118. The string changes are easy, it takes less time to "work in" a new set of strings since you wind them less, and they are very easy to use.
