I have a generic Les Paul and I'm looking to buy replacement tuners. I've been looking at some Grover 18:1 locking tuners on the e-bay, but I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions on brands and price-ranges, it would be most appreciated.
Muchas Gracias.

Any decent tuner seems to be better than the stock gibson ones.

Thanks for the advice. Would you recommend either grovers or schallers over each other, or are they pretty comparable?

Yeah, get the best fit... might as well spring for lockers while you're at it. Any aftermarket tuner will be better than those lousy tulip pieces of shit.
I just string my guitar up with my hand, and then tune it by hand also, so how do these things you guys are talkin about work?
we're just talking about the machines on the headstock that hold the string.
Yeah... you know, the whatzits that you turn to tune the guitar at the top of the neck, those metal mechanical pieces are called "tuners" (since they are used to tune the guitar). Cheap tuners can give you a world of problems, so we're just talking about replacing the stock cheapie tuners with better aftermarket tuners.
Man, aren't newbies cute?
Ive been on these things for 3 years, alright! So cut me some slack ey?
Well, you did refer to yourself as an amateur... I guess I took that the wrong way.
Six of one, half-dozen of the other. Same thing. Sue me.
Okay, mai tais for everyone... temperatures have been flaring a bit, let's cool down here... who wants lime daquiris? Strawberry? You're right, pariah, we ARE better than this, here.
I leave the beach for a week, and the bar fights start!

In guitar terms, you can call them tuning keys, or tuning machines. They just ended up getting called tuners by lazy lead guitarists like me.
A tuner would have been the person turning the key, or an electronic tuner that you use to bring the string to pitch,
that tells you how out of tune that last lead was!
Gets beach chair out, lays out with Pina Colada.
Whatever happened to the beach thread anyway?
