Topic: Grover locking tuners

I am planning on replacing the tuners on my guitar, and I'm trying to decide between Grover and Sperzel locking tuners.

I (and my luthier) are leaning toward the Grovers, but I'd like to know if anyone on this forum has had experience with either brand, positive or negative.

Thanks.

Re: Grover locking tuners

Grovers are the best. I have them on almost all of my guitars. No finer tuners in my opinion.

Give everything but up.

Re: Grover locking tuners

I've Grovers on my Tanglwood acoustic and my Epi Dot. Rock solid tuning even after banging around in a case. I've heard good stuff about Sperzel as well but have no experience of them.

No desire to touch the fire,
It's just a...just a sad obsession.

Re: Grover locking tuners

Thanks for your responses, guys.  I've heard from various other folks that either brand can bind up on the high E and B strings, but I'm hearing overwhelmingly positive reports about both Sperzel and Grover.  Most that have used them seem to like them.
