Fender replacement tuners

Sign in to disble this ad
I really don't like the tuners on my American 95 Fender P, they are too loose and change pitch too easily. They are the screwless cast models. The Mexican ones are much better. So what would be best? Shallers from Stew Mac, original Fenders other than the ones here. I don't want to make a radical change in look, just an up grade.
Thanks

A lot like Hipshots, and their HB series have all of the popular Fender body and Key Shapes, I prefer Grovers and Schallers, also making high end Fender shaped Tuners, and if you are on a budget, look to Gotoh or Wilkinson.

All of these have good reputations, some moreso, but all are good solid units, and by selling your F tuners in the Accessories page, you should be able to recoup most of the cost for new ones.
