Grover Automatic Locking Tuners

Re: Grover Automatic Locking Tuners

Well, I'm carrying on for now, but I'd love to just keep it as a kind of pastime and derive my income from something less fraught with uncertainty.

Having put so much effort over the years into understanding guitars, how they work and how to overcome and minimise the myriad obstacles to playability I'm kind of sick of having all that effort ignored and dismissed by people who don't appreciate it.

If I hear the words "it's just a set-up" again...

I've been thinking of swapping out he Sperzels on my ESP for the Grovers, I can't stand the Sperzels.

I have Sperzels on my Carvin DC-127 and think they are awesome.

I did not buy the tuners from Odie. I bought the guitar from Odie. The tuners are an upgrade.

I used the guitar in rehearsal tonight. No problem. We'll see how it performs after a string change later this week.

I hear you. Just know there are a few of us out there that appreciate having guys like you who really know what you're doing around. You're one of the few I've met I would trust with my guitars and cash. Too bad you're on the other side of the pond.

Well maybe some chowder was on the back of the headstock when you upgraded to the new tuners. Clean that nasty guitar!

Hehe man same story here....must be a universial thing?!!
Or the ones who goes...can you show it to me??!!
No I cannot show it to you.....spent +20 years learning stuff(meaning tear apart your own guitars and learn it the hard way)....and in a buisness where everybody is an "expert"....I can understand the ones who gets a "grumpy" reputation, no wonder with the customers from hell....well I like the stuff I do, it is fun and rewarding, but the drag of being swamped with knowbetters and internet experts, complainers, whingers...sometimes it just swamps you mentalwise....
To me it is easy, I just wanna do my thing, and make a decent living out of it, but trouble always seems to get the better of it.
The lack of thought, empathy, selfserving needs, rude behaviour and so on....really leaves one less enthutiastic at the end of the day...and I do this because I like music and its sounds..there is no fortunes to make, no glory to make, it is just another kind of work, but it has a serious downside to it that is tiresome.
Anyways.....sorry about the derailing...

Re: Grover Automatic Locking Tuners

Follow-up: I restrung the axe and used it last Saturday at an outdoor gig.

The Verdict: It performed flawlessly. No tuning issues whatsoever. These tuners performed as expected and eliminated the previous tuning issue.

Qualifier: I still find the Sperzels easier to use.
