Neck specs for ordering new Locking tuners on RG headstock?

gemini8026 · #1 12-03-2002, 10:57 PM

Id like to replace the tuners on my Ibanez RG421 with some locking ones.

Could someone tell me the specs i need to know for ordering and give me some recommendsfor the best price/performance.

Thanks for any help!

Watch for pole height. Most 6 in line tuners have staggered height (ie you don't need string trees on a strat). They'll work on the RG headstock, but they won't look so good

Would that be compatible, it has everything I want pretty much at a good cost!

Get a set of Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners. I'm pretty sure Ibanez tuners are made by Gotoh, so they're pretty much a direct retrofit. My 442R has Magnum Locks and they're fantastic.

thanks darren,

Any idea where I can get them, I havent found any sites that CARRY THEM!

I believe AllParts carries them, and you should also be able to order them at any music store.
