What is the preferred brand locking tuners Sperzel or Schaller?

I prefer Schaller myself.

I prefer Schallers on my Fenders.

My '74 strat had Schallers on it (already on it when I got it), and I never had any problems with them. They were great, and did their job without any hassles.

My brother's ESP (George Lynch relic'd 57 strat replicsa) has Sperzels, and I can't say that I care much for them. Not on a strat-style guitar, at any rate.

Just my two-cent's worth.

I love those satin chrome locking tuners they used years ago- does anyone know if they were schallers?

I like the schallers. They feel solid and stay in tune on my strat.

Yes they were. Sperzel also do a satin chrome locker but I don't recall Fenders ever coming with Sperzels as stock - though I stand to be corrected.

I like both Sperzels and Schallers, and I think the locking version of Gotoh's 510 tuners works well too.

And Planet Waves and Grover also do lockers, if someone is on a search. There are many other versions too, though they mostly turn out to be manufactured by one of the above...

Schallers

Thanks for the input guys, I appriate it!

I have not used Spertzel's, but I do have a set of Schallers. I also have Planetwaves on my daughter's guitar. I absolutely love the Schallers.

i got sperzals, cant see what more you could get from another brand.

they do what they are ment to perfectly.

Hey tagg, you got plenty of replies to this one. Good for you. Looks like Schaller wins. Is Schaller the one that needs a larger diameter hole to mount?
