Would it somehow be overkill to buy locking tuners too? Or is that perfectly OK and I'm just being a weirdo? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Not worth buying m8 since the strings are locked at the headnut and cutting out the tuners. I broke a string once between the tuners and the locking head nut and it stayed like that (in tune) with no probs for a few days You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
