Locking Tuners?

[Thrash]

Of these brands, is one better than the other and why? Grover, Sperzel and Planet Waves. Looking to put some on two Gibsons. Thanks

I second Sperzels, i've tried all of the above brands in various configurations and Sperzels have always come out on top for me.

I didn't like the auto trim Planet waves. They didn't always catch the thinner strings and geez are we so lazy we can't use a pair of snips?

I have to say I disagree. Planet Waves are AWESOME. They have a lifetime warranty and the string cutter works everytime providing you put the string in the right way and pull the excess string (this helps cutting as you're increasing the tension- giving a cleaner cut) ! Why not have it cut the excess string for you? It gets it closer than I ever did, and they look awesome too. I have them on ALL my guitars (even the ones with locking nuts- and I think it's perfectly justified as
A) It helps MASSIVELY with string slippage- I don't like the idea of string slippage behind the nut when it's locked,
B) I use D'addario strings and don't want a mini rainbow at the end of my headstock from the ball end at the machine head trick)
Go for PW dude, you won't regret it.

+1 for Sperzels. My strat wouldn't be the same without them.

Sperzels are the schit.

Sperzels and planet waves are awesome.

But the look of the sperzels on my jp6 and my peavey s1 are sleek and sexy.

On a gibson, either model should work well though.
