I've got a Strat and a Tele with the Fender Locking tuners and I found that the posts have different heights to them and on the gear casing the have either an I, II or IIII on them. Does anyone know the correct way to install these tuners so that the stagger is correct. It seems that from looking at the posts on my guitars they are installed dofferently on each guitar. What would be the best for both?
Thanks,

Feel free to correct me anyone, but i believe the shorter posts go on the lighter gauge strings so 1, 2, 3 get the short posts and 4, 5, 6 get the taller posts. This is to help with string tension in addition to or in place of the string tree.

That's exactly what I would think and that is how I installed them on my American Hardtail Strat, but I got looking at my Jim Root Tele and they look like they have been factory installed the opposite of that with the taller posts on the lighter gauge strings! That's what got me wondering which is the correct way.
Thanks for the reply,

I don't know if this will help,,, or
confuse the matter more...

I just checked the tuners on my
MIM Tele,,, and the tuners on the
1,,, 2,,, and 3 strings are taller by
a 1/16th of an inch...

They are the stock tuners...

I'm pretty sure you were right. The shorter posts should be on the lighter gauge strings to be used instead of string trees. I've never used these tuners so I can't say for sure, but I don't see why else you would even have that feature.
