Locking tuners for 2018 Tremonti SE

[majestyjp6]

I just picked up a 2018 Tremonti SE Custom. Anyone here have a recommendation for aftermarket locking tuners? I was considering a set of Schallers because I like the ones on my EBMM guitars, but I read a review where a guy put them on an SE and stated that the screws were too small to engage the holes and had to use toothpicks to fill in enough space to install them. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hipshot tuners ump( universal mounting plates). Made in America with 18:1 ratio. You can also get Mann tuner upgrade using your own tuner. He will make them into locking tuner.

The Schallers fit fine on my Robertson SE (no toothpicks needed) but the string posts are shorter than OEM. Thus the string angle from the nut to the post is a bit more extreme and may cause binding or need a bit of refret work so as not to bind.
I highly recommend the Mann replacements. The only reason I went with Schallers is because i wanted black chrome. All my other SEs (including my Tremonti SE) have the Mann tuner upgrade.

Other than Mann, the most drop-in are Grover 406. The buttons are tiny, but you can switch the stock SE buttons onto them.
