Hipshot extender tuner weight

[musicxfactor]

Thinking about putting one of these on my Music Man Sterling. Does anyone know if the Hipshot is heavier than the stock Schaller? Thanks!

[friskinator]

Yes, they are a bit heavier than the stock tuner.

I have a d tuner on all my MMs and I never noticed any weight difference. I'm sure there's a little, but it doesn't cause any neckdive if that's your concern.

+1.

It's definitely a little heavier since it's basically the same tuner with an extra plate and lever added on, but it's not a noticeable difference in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks all! Yes, I was concerned that it would introduce neck dive.

Non-factor.

Don't know if it helps, I just weighed a Fender one 184 grams.
would have to be close to the MM.
you could weigh your current machine head & tape some washers or something in place to make up the difference and see what happens.

Though this is probably over thinking it.

I hate neck dive, but all my basses do it.
