Hipshot locking tuners

ibznorange · 12-07-2007, 05:49 AM

anybody have any experience with em? im looking at those like jj at kindergardeners.

OMG. Hipshot is doing locking tuners now? Sweet! I'm not sure you'll find anyone with experience with them yet, as it looks like they JUST came out. But if they start doing their Extenders with a locking tuner attached, i might have to pick up a few.

Soloway uses them and seems pretty happy with them.

ibznorange · 12-07-2007, 03:19 PM

good enough for soloway? im on it
they look like pure sex, and if they have the general hipshot quality, im on it.
darren: does ANYONE make locking extenders?

Sperzel. Of course, the damn thing won't fit on my guitar because of the headstock design...

I don't like the fact they aren't sealed though...especially with all the animal hair I have floating around my house. Just seems like it would be a pain in the ass to keep clean.

can-o-air that shit

Zepp88 · 12-08-2007, 12:48 AM

I agree with JJ, to fucksville with open tuners.

darren · 12-08-2007, 01:32 AM

And for the record, Jim Soloway uses the Sperzel open-back tuners.

JJ, maybe you should shave your pet goats. That'll keep the animal hair to a minimum.

You obviously don't own any pets

And Darren, it's not the goats I'm worried about, they're tethered outside in the love corral. It's the 4 dogs and 2 cats. And I do keep my instruments in their case, but as any pet owner knows, pet hair will find a way. It's like a sentient being that will never give up, never stop, until you're dead, a juggernaut if you will.

Zepp88 · 12-08-2007, 01:44 AM

I wanna be tethered outside in the love corral.

JJ Rodriguez · 12-08-2007, 02:03 AM

Can you act like a goat?

ibznorange · 12-08-2007, 04:02 AM

JJ Rodriguez · 12-08-2007, 11:03 AM

Well you should know animal hair > compressed air. That shit sticks like feces to the faces I throw it at.
