I recently got a silvertone 1478 reissue on sale. It was very affordable so I expected a few parts would need upgrades.I've used this brand for my other modern guitar tuners but I've never had vintage style tuners. The guitar was having some tuning issues so I tried a few things. Ultimately upgrading to guyker tuners resolved this.The installation was easy. I did have to add 1 layer of thin copper tape to the ferrules because they were slightly too small for the holes. The movement of the pegs are smoother and sturdier than the factory pegs. There's very little play or jumping so they function much better while still looking like the factory retro tuners.

I've been building guitars for 15 years, and have used every tuning machine brand and model under the sun. These tuners, specifically the Pro version, are among the best I've ever used. The gears feel like a $400 set of Waverly machines. They are astonishingly smooth and have less backlash than 90% of name brand machines. For the price, they are BY FAR the best value for the money. I will be using these before Grover, Wilkinson, Gotoh, Kluson etc. They perform as well as Hipshot tuners for almost 1/4 of the price.My son and I built a guitar for him, and I bought these because I was wanting to save some money. I just figured these would get me by until I could save up for some nice Kluson machines, but these tuners feel even better than the Kluson's and will be a permanent fixture in my shop from now on. I've already recommended and installed them for several clients since then, and they all love them.The finish is very nice, as well. No obvious plating defects or burrs. Very clean and smooth finish.The locking mechanism is well machined. The tolerances aren't absolutely perfect, but they're good enough to work as if they are perfect. Other budget brands have WAY too much slop and do not effectively lock the strings. I'm 100% confident in these locking mechanisms ability to hold the string in place. We've had no issues with slipping, and we've played the guitar hard and well for about a month now.Finally, the dimensions are perfect. No odd sizes, holes in the wrong spot, stamping/machining inconsistencies, etc. The dimensions and layout are exactly what you'd expect and match their spec sheet.I really cannot recommend these enough. I applaud the team who were behind these. They did an excellent job and clearly cared about the end result, which really shows. It's not often a budget brand releases something of this level of quality, so I have a ton of respect when they do. It's an incredible value for the price, and I could not be happier with my purchase. Time will tell how durable these are, and I will update my review if any issues do arise, but I expect that I won't need to do that.

Bought these to replace a set of non-locking Fender vintage tuners on one of my guitars. These were an easy drop in replacement. For yeas I used Grover tuners, until Grover stopped making their own tuning machines and then I switched to Schaller's. A couple of years ago, I installed a set of Gotoh locking vintage tuners on a Strat and was very impressed by the fit and finish as well as the functioning and stability of the Gotoh's. For this guitar, I wanted something better than the original Fender tuners, but didn't want to spend upwards of $80 for Gotoh's or Schallers. So for the low price, I decided to try a set of these. Although these are not up to the Gotoh of Schallar standards they went on easy, work quite well and look nice. We'll see over time how the finish holds up, but for now I say buy them without hesitation.*** 5 month update. These tuners continue to work and look great. They have remained firm and hold tune very well. Very happy with these.

The Guyker Vintage Guitar Lock String Tuners were a nice addition to a recent Telecaster style guitar I built. I've been using them for about a month and they are working just fine. The gears are snug with no backlash, and they hold tuning very well for me. These tuners are a good fit for 9mm mounting holes. The gold finish on my set was rich looking and even. Very pleased with these!

I installed these on a Harley Benton Jazz Master style guitar I'm upgrading so I didn't want to spend a lot on locking tuners. I've used locking tuners from Fender, Suhr, and other high end guitars and these tuners are a great value and quality. If they start to fail in the longer term I will update this review. Pretty happy with my purchase.

I give the tuners themselves 5 stars, they lock great and hold tune nicely. But the screws they included are very cheap and brittle, after breaking two off in the headstock during installation I used the screws from my old tuners. Great tuners Guyker horrible screws!

Direct bolt in for my new Harley Benton TE52. I didn't even have to change the bushings. Took about 5 minutes to change. Nice and smooth and stays in tune way better than the stock tuners. If you're thinking about locking tuners for your Harley Benton give these ones a try. Very happy with mine.

Installées sur une strat Squier, elles n’ont rien à envier à celles de marques plus prestigieuses et plus coûteuses. Elles sont efficaces, précises et du plus bel effet. Pour un tel rapport qualité /prix, pas d’hésitation !

These dropped right into the neck for my Jaguar. I was waiting on a set of Gotoh/Fender Vintage locking tuners that had a delivery date that kept getting pushed back, and I just wanted something with lockers to tide me over and get everything back together. I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.The bushings went in without too much drama, I gently used a small c-clamp to press them in evenly. The tuners all lock and turn nicely, they seem to stay in tune, and they look great. Installing the units to the neck was a cinch as everything lined up perfectly, and the screws all went in nicely. I'm not sure the Gotoh tuners would be that much of an upgrade, at more than twice the price. I'm not in any hurry to replace these, that's for sure.It's nice having the lock on a knob too, it makes string switches a breeze, and no more fussing with multiple string wraps around the peg. Stick the string in fairly taunt, clamp it, and then turn it until its in tune. Makes me wonder why I've not gone to this style years ago.

Absolutely great. These look like they’re made by Gotoh.
