Hey Everyone,
I just found this cool forum and thought I might ask a couple of questions regarding a guitar I am trying to fix up. I have a 92’ Dinky XL (metallic black, if anyone cares) and I need to replace the original Jackson tuners and licensed Floyd. I would like to replace the tuners with locking tuners and was wondering if anybody knew of some direct replacement tuners that won’t require a lot of modifcation to the headstock. I would also like to know if there is a direct replacement for the Floyd (the Dinky has a routed trem so I can pull up on it). Again, I want to go easy on any mods to the body because this was my first “real” guitar and I don’t want to F it up!
Thanks,
Nick

to the forum! Any tuner for a 10mm or 3/8" hole will work. This includes Gotoh Magnum locking, Sperzel locking, Schaller locking and Planet Waves to name a few. My favs are Sperzels. The Sperzels use no screw and have a locating pin on the underside. This can be removed, or you can drill the hole that comes with the instructions. If you want to match the existing tuner mounting screws, all the others will match up. With the Schaller's make sure you get the non-90 degree ears. Warmoth stocks the one's that will fit Jackson's and Charvel's as a direct fit.
