Problems installing Fender style Hipshot Ultralites and how I solved them

Sign in to disble this ad
Just a heads up. Tuners were loose in the hole, so I used painters tape to wrap the sleeve. Still not the best fit. The tuners also buzzed and rattled. Turns out the was play in the tuner assembly so I took it apart, cleaned up the light oil and relubed it with the heavy grease I had on hand, Mobil 1 synthetic universal grease. Worked like a charm to take out most of the rattle. Paid $80 for the set of 4 tuner and it was a good price. Didn't expect to have to spend a few hours installing them. It was a bit of a disappointment and I only lost 4.6 ounces of weight. From 12.9 oz (Gotohs I think) to 8.3 oz.
