Howdy all, I need some of your knowledge. I'm looking at putting some locking tuners on my leftie strat (standard strat, nothing special) I'm looking on the fender website but can't see anything that would fit my strat, any suggestions? I've found locking tuners on the website but would have to spend $100 on them because they're sold individually. Also, and i probably know the answer to this question but i have to ask anyway, would it be possible to put any of the american vintage setups (bridge, tuners, etc.) on my strat?

Question is- why would you want, or need to?

What is your issue with the existing tuners? Or is this a mod just for the sake of a mod?

Rob's suffering from boredom waiting for school to start and he doesn't want to make the headlines so he figures he'll muck around with his Stratocaster. :wink:

What about the tuners used on the American Deluxe??? Have you looked at 'parts' on the website and seen "locking Stratocaster/Telecaster tuning machines' :?: :?: :?: :shock:

Touch base with Consumer Affairs and ask 'em if these will do. :idea:

Have you recovered from the concert yet. :wink:

Yah! Thanks. Turn 71 Friday coming. Thought I'd get back to that one again. It's short and sweet but speaks tomes.
