- A quick tutorial on how I installed Sperzel locking tuners on my Warmoth neck. It is simpler than I thought it would be and the provided template works like a charm.
Wonderful job! Thanks so much! I recall back in the 80s I worked in the guitar room at the local music store and how excited we were when we saw Sperzels installed on the American Standard Strats. I think that was the same time they developed the Lace sensor pickups. It was a magical time and since, Sperzels have been the only way to go with locking tuners.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a ton, this gave me the confidence to get some Sperzels in the color I want for my first build, since I can't find the EZ-Mount ones. Still terrified of drilling into my Warmoth neck but I feel a little better after watching this, haha.
Thank you for telling me! I'm not a guitar tech or even close to it, and that was my first and only time drilling into a guitar! Believe me, it is so much easier than you'd think. Just take your time and check your measurements, then take the plunge!
Congratulations on your new Warmoth!
Very smart tips. Thank you for taking time to make a video to help us out.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, thanks a lot for the video. That was a tremendous help. A lot better instructions than water on the box.
You're very welcome! I'm happy you found it helpful.
Great job. Hard to trust someone in a Patriots shirt, but the tutorial was awesome.
Tunergate!
Very, very helpful!!! I have a Warmoth slapstick (hockey stick) maple neck coming, and have the same exact tuners (but mine are all black). I had no idea that they were graduated, and if I hadn't seen this video, I'd have done it way wrong and not noticed!!! Also, mine did not come with a template, so your tips were really great at helping me not eyeball it!!! Thanks for posting! This was just what I needed!!!
Just saw your comment! Thank you, I'm glad you found the video useful!
THANK YOU! Installing some of these on my Warmoth Neck soon. I appreciate it...CHEERS!

Nice one!
Cheers!
Thank you Art!
Thanks Bud good video !
I just bought a roasted maple neck for from warmoth for a 1988 strat I have and after your vid I fell in love with that color combo , thanks again
That's awesome...it's been a couple of years since your post I hope it worked out for you!
Great video. I'm installing mine tonight.
Thanks Jug Head. They are supposed to go from tallest at the nut to shortest...it's done that way to eliminate the need for string trees on the B and E strings. You may find you still need one but mine seems fine without. If you install them the other way you'll know its not right. Good luck!
@@superlead1002 I got them installed. There's a peg on the bottom that I had to drill a hole for on each tuner. I measure and measured and still 2 came out crooked. They're not awful and my wife didn't notice them, but it still bothers me. I didn't NEED locking tuners, but I'm hoping the gearing is tighter and will help it stay in tune better. So I can leave my string trees off? It's a Squier Strat Affinity and is in great shape for a 19 year old guitar. I looked up the serial number.
@@Voartist It won't hurt anything if you reinstall the string trees.
@@superlead1002 I did reinstall the trees and put strings on it tonight. They still need to stretch but I can already tell it's staying in tune better. Woo hoo!. And I leveled the fret wires and smoothed them out. Almost looks like a new guitar. Gotta get those calouses back. 5 days without playing and they're already shrinking.
@@Voartist Nice!
thanks
You're welcome!
If you have a clear coat headstock, you do not want to over tighten the tuners! Crack! To be even more precise... use a drill press!
Thanks for the video, this was very helpful. I’m finding that the tuners “float” a little in the predrilled holes in my headstock, whereas I would think they should be kind of snug. But yours actually looks the same, so I guess that the important part is to make sure the guide pin hole is correct so the tuner can’t move?
yes, you don't want the tuner to move at all or you'll have tuning issues. the pin is what keeps the tuner from spinning. once you tighten everything up they will be very stable
The nut will hold it tight, so it's actually not that important that the holes are snug.
Are those the EZ mount ones? Awesome tutorial vid! I love at 2:15 we get a little bonus digestion sound bite!
What's a tutorial vid without a little tummy gurgle thrown in for good measure? As far as I'm aware these are a standard mount, but it was my first time with mounting any kind of tuning gear.
I'm glad you found the video useful, thanks.
Those aren't EZ mount. EZ mount doesn't require any drilling but they're next to impossible to find to buy them.
Is that a Yamaha CA series integrated amp I see int he background of your guitar videos? I grew up with the CA-610, Technics SL-2000 and a pair of two way Yamaha NS speakers - was it NS 5 or 10 - can't recall.
Yes, it is a CA-1010 with a pair of NS-690's and a pair of 670's. It really sounds great!
