I have not purchased any Grover locking tuners, but the name rings a bell. I may have them on my Carvin AC175 6-string guitar. I have used Hipshot locking tuners and they work and look good. I typically don’t use high end tuners on my CBGs, but I realized I might as well start using the Kluson ones since I have had them collecting dust for years! Thanks for weighing in on the locking tuners BrianQ!

The tuners are pretty heavy duty Andries! I do like locking tuners. Fortunately, I did not have to drill the hole larger for the G string, but it was a tight fit. An angle cut on the end made it easier to squeeze it through! Thanks for the kind words.

Nice!! those Kluson plus series are no joke!! Have you tried any of the Grover locking tuners from stewmac?

They look pretty sturdy Doug ! Kluson locking tuners ,are new to me! did you have to adapt them to the thicker size of the carbon fisching line? some nice detailing in this one !

They certainly are odd looking tuners Uncle John! They are high end Kluson locking tuners that I got a smoking deal from Stew Mac on years ago and have finally started using them. They are on the heavy side but are very smooth. Yep! It’s a fingerprint!

Glad you like it Rich! The fingerprint is intended to be a visual aid for finger placement when I teach some one how to play. I always start with the C chord and can say “put your finger right there on the fingerprint”.

Those are odd machine heads.  They do look good - like a pair of eyes- with this chugger.  Nice decoration on the there too.  Maybe it is a finger print like Rich says.

Nice fingerprint detail.
