My MIM Jazz needs an upgrade in Tuners....

Sign in to disble this ad
Two of them are slipping, and another is hard to turn. What are my options when it comes to a drop in replacement??

I like the looks of the tuners on my MIA Jazz, and they seem quite solid. I haven't had a problem with em in 10 years. Would a set of those work??

I'd like something with the traditional Clover Leaf design, that's light, yet sturdy and won't leave any unsightly marks from the old tuners visible once installed.

I'm thining a Detuner would be a nice added touch while I'm at it. I rarely play in a drop/open tuning but, it may come in handy, and it's always nice to have options....

What are the boards thoughts??

A lot of people suggest Hipshot tuners.

I'm going to get some in the future.

Hipshot HB7 tuners are "drop-ins" for MIM Fenders (and HWY 1s). You should be able to get a set of 1 Detuner + 3 Standard Hipshot tuners if that's what you want...
