That's correct. The Fender Locking Tuners have been made by Ping instead of Schaller for quite a while. I don't remember the exact time frame, but it's been at least a decade, probably longer.

They also mount differently. The Fender uses two pins and the Schaller uses a single set screw on the side.

If it's a Fender neck, I'd stick with the Fender Schallers for the mounting and logo resale advantages -They're very good tuners.
If not, Schallers are certainly great -I think Sperzells are even better. But any of those will not disappoint.

The original Fender locking tuners that appeared on the Strat Plus in the late 80s were made by Schaller and used the two-pin mounting design. Later on the manufacturing moved to Ping, but the design stayed essentially the same and the two tuners are interchangeable.
The Fender Schallers are great tuners; unfortunately the Ping-made ones are a bit hit and miss. The good ones are every bit as good as the Schallers, but unfortunately I've run into a few that were junk.

I liked the chrome F logo ones better

You dont have to drill holes
When you tighten the collar, the pins bite in on their own

Uh, I would not recommend this method. You are supposed to drill alignment holes.

Same as alignment screws, you def wanna drill pilot holes other wise you'll potentially split wood and strip stuff.

Never drilled a hole
Never had any problems
You guys are making it harder than it needs to be
Small screws and nails do not require pilot holes
This is the way myths get started

Re: Schaller Locking Tuners vs Fender Schaller Locking Tuners?
No, the pins are blunt and can absolutely split a headstock. Not to mention the force needed to crush pins that size could break a tuner.
Maybe you are thinking the tiny little **** on the some sealed tuners?

What are you talking about crushing pins
The wood compresses
Not the metal
Cmon man
You tighten the nut on the front
The pins press into the wood
Wood is soft
Even hard rock maple
Not brittle
Wont splinter
Wont shatter
Metal is hard wont cruch
Wont bend
Dude you do nice work
I'm impressed with it
But I dont think we are talking g about the sa.e things
