Schaller Locking Tuners

I now have absolutely no reason to ever buy a set of Spertzels ever again. I got seven of them in black chrome for my Jackson Stars, and they were a perfect drop in replacement for the Gotoh minis that were on there. Popped out the old ones, popped on the new ones.

They have a wider ratio than Spertzels, so the tuners aren't so touchy when you're trying to make that string just a little bit sharper. They're shorter, so the string angle increases over the nut, giving me more punch and sustain. Every thing about them feels solid. Since they're minis, the footprint is much smaller than a Spertzel, too.

FYI: If you like big strings, beware. I use a .060 on the bottom, and it took some persuading to make it fit. With Spertzels, you can drop the locking post out of the bottom and drill out the hole. The...

That's what he replaced when he put the Scahllers on.

The Planet Waves AutoTrims are also direct replacements.

Sickness! I orderded 14 of them! H307 and the COW gets pimped!

Got myself a set for my ESP and never looked back,

I just took the closest drill bit I had to the string and ran it through the damn tuner. Worked fine, I could probably use a 70 on my C7 now.

Direct swap for the Grovers too, BTW.

Could someone explain to me the difference between these two models?
Schaller Electronic | M6 P.-Locking
Schaller Electronic | M6L I.-Locking

ones left handed, ones right handed.

I assume that's what the "L" stands for, but I actually mean to refer to the "P." and "I." bits.

The ones that say P. have pins to keep the tuner from rotating. The ones that say I. use screws.

Hi, this is the only Google reference I could find regarding replacing Schaller locking knobs. I thought I was clever getting a set quite cheap on ebay because one was missing a knob, and purchasing a replacement knob from another seller.

All purport to be Schaller units and parts. (And they look the same.) Now I am at that "damn hard to get back on" part :p

Are there any tricks? I have never had these tuners before, so I don't want to just put the vicegrips to it or anything like that. Does any one have any advice?

Thanks in advance!!

That "I" and "P" thing was of great help man, now i know which ones to grab for my future custom, i think the Pin one will look somewhat cleaner on a custom headsock

where can i buy an in-line set for my 7-string COW with the reverse headstock?

id also know the cheapest place to buy a 7 string set, planning on using them on my two custom 7s.

thank god i read that before choose sperzel ;\
