Looking For A Specific Tuner:

Inspector #20

Looking for a set of 6-inline tuners in gold for a Stratocaster.

These cannot be stock Fender style with 2 mounting pins.

They need to fit a 10mm peghole and have a screw-in bushing.

They need to be long post, not staggered and not locking.

A HUGE plus if they have pearloid knobs.

Can use either the original style "two screws in a line" mounting or the single screw off to one side.

I haven't found a set yet, so I'm asking for your help.

Thanks..

P.S. These are close, but they don't say (specifically) if they are staggered???

Ratio tuners have adapter plates that make them fit all standard configurations.
The adapter lets you use the original screw holes.
With or without the string lock...
I was happy with the 35:1 G string tuner. I think it did make tuning more simplified. But I would go for the string lock.

I told them the same thing, no drawings no dimensions.
That's what really irritates me about people who sell parts, especially CED.

They do have support techs:

But they did fit. And they did work as promised.
The tuners come with 3 sets of mounting plates.
You use 1 set and toss the others.
The plates are plain metal, UN-plated.
Then as an option you can buy plates which are plated black or gold, or chrome etc. to match the tuners you bought.
It's kind of an up-grade to get plates that match the tuners..kind of wasteful.

They should gave just sold tuners with the 1 plate for the specific guitar, already plated to match the tuners.
But they turned the mounting plate into an option instead.

Hope you can find what you're looking for.

I like black hardware and I HATE locking tuners. I have the hardest time finding black regular or mini tuners that are not locking. Schaller M6 minis have always been my go to for my Tele style guitars, but I haven't been able to find them lately, it seems they only make the locking ones now. I just ordered some Gotoh tuners, I hope they are good but I haven't tried them yet.
 
I always lock my string to the post:
regardless if there is locking tuner, or not.
But I must admit that the locking tuner made my life easier.

Until you lock your string to the post, and stretch out / re-tune the string, your guitar will always slip out of tune.
