Very well made and super easy to install.

Outside of that, it sounded like hipshot as a brand was well regarded.

    I recently purchased a squite affinity strat as i have wanted to learn guitar for a long time just never took the plunge until now the guitar was fine for my needs but i found myself constantly having to retunei didnt want to have to drill holes or anything and these tuners are perfect for that no modification is necessary and you can easily revert back to stock tho i dont see why you would want tothese tuners hold tune very well and i dont have to constantly retune after doing bends or using the tremwith the open back they look great as well tho i dont think anyone but me will notice thatthese arent staggered which would have been a bonus but its not a deal breaker i just put on a nice graph tech tusq string tree
