Whats the flavor of the day for replacing old slipping tuners? I'd rather not ream any holes, but don't mind locking tuners if there are no mods? What are your recommendations? TIA
On all of my old Fender Tele's and Stratocasters they never go out of tune .tuners almost never "slip". You may not like old tuners, but even the shittiest tuners don't "slip". More than one on the same guitar? never.
The flavor of the day is fix 'em and leave them alone.
Sounds like it might be a problem with the nut slots grabbing the strings. Check to make sure the slots are wide enough for the strings.Slip was the incorrect term. Slop is more accurate. When tuning and you go slightly sharpe, the tuner has about a quarter turn of nothing when tuning it down. When it finally moves flat, it is way flat.
