i want to change the tuners on my tele to black locking ones. it doesn't need the locking tuners i just like them better when changing strings.

i would prefer not to have to drill holes like for the sperzels.

would anyone know if the black nickel Fender locking tuners require any drilling or are they a simple drop in?

You don't say what kind of Tele you have; pretty much as long as it has the Fender sealed tuners (either Schaller or Ping) then the Fender locking tuners will fit without any drilling.

I wasn't aware that Fender had black finished locking tuners available; if they do then those would be your best choice.

If your Tele has the vintage style tuners, then you would need the vintage-style locking tuners made by Gotoh (I think they are also available in black).

oops!, its a 2013 Am Standard, rosewood, crimson. purty lil babe i must say.

Tuning Machines: Deluxe Staggered Cast/Sealed (chrome/nickel?)

i didn't realize Fender had the black tuners either. but i saw on a website these:
Fender Part No: 006239200 Black Nickel, Locking, Import, Six In Line For Custom Telecaster

i'm just not in the mood to drill on this new guitar. i have on two other strats i put Sperzels on i had to drill, but this new tele, heck, i just don't want to drill.

thanks for your reply and insight. i think i'm good to go to order these but i'll wait til you have a chance to see my reply just to be on the safe side.

Okay - for an American Standard the locking tuners that come on American Deluxes will be a direct replacement with no drilling. However, those black nickel ones you reference might not work - it looks like they were for the MIK models as they look like Gotoh Magnum locking tuners and not the Schaller style that is the direct replacement for an American Standard.

thanks for pointing that out.

i'll ensure i get the correct "style/direct replacement" now that i know what to ensure when ordering.

thanks
