I received my Affinity Tele last Friday and I bought it with the intention of making it a test bed for upgrades and mods.
The next thing on my list is locking tuners.
After reading in other forums, I couldn't find any drop in replacement because of the holes size in the Affinity.
My question is for those who have tried the same mod on an Affinity Tele, which locking tuners have you used and how easy/difficult was it?
Personally, I'm leaning towards vintage locking tuners and if possible the same ones I used on my CV 60s strat which is the Gotoh SD91-MG.
Thanks for the reply. Do you mean you used Allparts locking tuners but had to enlarge the holes to fit them?
in my experience, I once had a set of original Gotoh Kluson/vintage style locking tuners installed into my Squier Standard Tele.
I remember that the Gotoh set came with conversion bushings (aside from the vintage bushings) so you can retrofit the kluson style tuners into the tiny holes for the stock tuners on Squiers and they fit nicely into the headstock. it looked clean and and the tuners were very stable.
not so sure if the Affinities have the same tuners as the Standards, but I would assume they would be the same. So I hope this helps.
