Hmmmm. Stop tail guitars do go out of tune once in a while but you are correct. Unless your guitar is a real shitter, you should be fine without locking tuners.

I've never quite understood the purpose of locking tuners....... As Necropeth said, guitars do go out of tune once in awhile.
I remember seeing a Jackson Dinky (string through) with a locking nut. You must be pretty lazy to own one of those instead of checking your tuning every now and then.

EDIT: And usually, the locking tuners are on the expensive guitars, the ones that aren't real shitters.

^ Lots of people buy shitters and put on locking tuners xD. But yeah you are right about being lazy.

There's something to be said about the Line 6 Variax.

This guy customized his pickups. He won't need another electric guitar again. Not really a great example of "metal"-style playing, though.

I hate to say it but not everyone can get their hands on one of those...... They are quite nice from what I've heard, though.

Walls1441 · June 29th, 2008, 11:39 PM

yeah they're fucking expensive. Most retail stores up the price waaaayyyyy too high in the states. Best off getting one from ebay if you can find the one you're looking for.

i mean, i can't get my hands on one... just another poor college student.

^Yeah, I'm sure you could find one in Japan for dirt cheap, but then you have to pay shipping.

It's too bad.....
