Direct retrofit Locking Tuners for RG7621


I'm looking for locking tuners that would directly retrofit onto my Ibanez RG7621. So far the only tuners I have seen that will directly retrofit the stock Gotoh tuners on the guitar are Grover, Planet Waves, Gotoh, and Schaller locking tuners. I was considering the Planet Waves or the Schaller because they have a thumb wheel while the others do not, but I'm open to any of them. Will these replace the old Gotoh tuners without any modifications, or are there more locking tuners out there that will? Also, if anybody out there has any of these tuners personally, which do you recommend? Also, do they make them in 7-string sets or would I have to special order a 7-string set?

Not all tuners are the same. Mini tuners often have slightly different bore diameters and stabilizing pin placement. I'd suggest just replacing them with Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners. I have them on my 442R and they're great. Very smooth and stable.

I have no experience with the Magnums but they look damn good and darren knows his crap!! But I will testify for the PLANET WAVES locking tuners because they will perfectly retrofit Gotoh tuners and they work GREAT!
