    Standard non-locking Gotoh tuners at the confirmed 10mm bore used across Jackson headstocks. The locking Floyd nut handles tuning stability, so locking tuners are not required.

    Ibanez AZES40

    Ibanez

    AZES40

    Needs verification

    Needs a 10mm tuner hole. This guitar's stock tuners are a vintage split-shaft design, which normally runs smaller, and the size hasn't been confirmed. Worth measuring before you order.

    Why we say this

    The AZES40 has a curved 6-in-line headstock, so a 6-in-line tuner set is the correct shape here, not the pointed reverse-headstock version. Hole size is the open question. The standard non-locking SG381 uses the same 10mm bore Gotoh specify for the locking version. 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 at 10mm, but that is a different tuner design on a different production tier and does not settle the AZES40.
