    Why we say this

    Charvel list Charvel-branded die-cast locking tuners on the Pro-Mod DK24 HH 2PT but don't publish the hole size. Modern sealed and locking tuners like these normally sit in 10mm holes. Gotoh's SG381-07 MG-T locking set (SG381-07 MGT L6 CB) is sold for 10mm holes, and each tuner is fixed with one screw set at 45 degrees to the post, so if your tuners use guide pins or a screw in a different spot you may need to drill one small pilot hole per tuner. The stock tuners already lock, so this is a quality and feel upgrade rather than a new feature. Take one tuner off and check the hole and where the screw or pins sit before ordering.

    Why we say this

    ESP list Grover tuners on the MH-1000 without naming the model, and don't publish the hole size. Without a named tuner type, we can't say the holes are the 10mm these need. Gotoh's SG381-07 MG-T locking set (SG381-07 MGT L6 CB) is sold for 10mm holes and fixed with one screw at 45 degrees to the post, so smaller holes would need reaming and a different factory screw position means one small pilot hole per tuner.

    Ibanez AZES40

    Ibanez

    AZES40

    Needs verification

    These need a 10mm tuner hole. The stock tuners on this guitar are a vintage split-shaft type, which usually means a smaller hole, and the exact size isn't confirmed. Measure yours before buying.

    Why we say this

    The AZES40 has a 6-in-line headstock, so the layout matches. Hole size is the open question. Gotoh specify a 10mm bore for the SG381 housing. Ibanez's own AZES40 spec sheet lists the stock tuners as split-shaft machine heads, a vintage-style design that normally uses a bore under 9mm rather than the 10mm modern standard, and the AZES40's actual hole diameter is not published anywhere and has not been independently measured. The higher-tier AZ2204 and AZ2402 Prestige ship Gotoh sealed tuners, but that is a different tuner design on a different production tier and does not settle the AZES40.

Gotoh's SG381-07 MG-T locking set (SG381-07 MGT L6 CB) is sold for 10mm holes and fixed with one screw at 45 degrees to the post, so smaller holes would need reaming and a different factory screw position means one small pilot hole per tuner.

Gotoh's SG381-07 MG-T locking set (SG381-07 MGT L6 CB) is sold for 10mm holes and fixed with one screw at 45 degrees to the post, so smaller holes would need reaming and a different factory screw position means one small pilot hole per tuner.

    Wrong layout for this guitar. This set is six tuners in a line, but this guitar's headstock has three per side, so it won't fit.

    Why we say this

    Layout mismatch: this tuner set is six in a line and this guitar's headstock is three per side, so the set cannot be fitted as sold regardless of peg hole size.
