6-String (6l) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Black


Monkey Locks - lightweight, stable tuning

First of all: If you have any questions, be sure to contact the Guitar Mokey team. Super likeable, competent and open to positive and negative criticism, although in my opinion the latter is rather unlikely.

To the Guitar Monkeys Locking Tuners: They do what they are supposed to do. They run evenly, the tuning is very precise and the mood is kept perfectly.

The workmanship is clean and the materials used are of high quality. The low weight of the mechanics should be emphasized. With top-heavy guitars, you don't have to do without locking tuners.

The multitude of customization options is also very nice. In addition to the possible combinations of tuner and button in chrome, black and gold, there are also ebony and tamarind wood buttons. Regarding the color selection, it is currently a pity that no nickel is offered - but what is not, can still come. The choice of color for the spacer rings is great - a small component with a big effect. You can get all of this at more than reasonable conditions.

The installation is unproblematic and all information can be found on the extensively designed homepage.

What should not be concealed today is the sustainability of the company. In addition to planting trees in India and supporting mountain gorillas, the mechanics come in stable and reusable packaging.

Overall, I can fully recommend the Locking Tuners from Guitar Monkeys and it will be exciting to see what else the young company will come up with.

You really are a great company! Simply bombastic!

Both the service and the feel and look. I haven't experienced anything more competent in terms of service online 🙌🏼. An answer comes within minutes even after 9 p.m. A perfect advice 👍🏻. The packaging consists of high-quality, printed zip bags. Quality card with personal dedication. The mechanics turn just as you would expect and the logo makes them an individual eye-catcher 🔥. Great overall concept. Clear purchase recommendation! 🤝🏼

It's been a few days, but I have to say thank you again for your support! I have never received a useful answer so quickly. The mechanics have now been in use for a few weeks and I am absolutely satisfied. I rebuilt an Explorer and was at a loss as to the mechanics. I became aware of you through your Facebook advertising and I absolutely do not regret it. Those weren't the last mechanics I ordered!

Noble buttons for the premium look with the best feel. An absolute must to make a guitar unique. Thank you for the outstanding service, even on weekends. The sustainable and high-quality packaging with a personalized quality card absolutely matches the high-end buttons. Exactly what I was looking for, always happy to come back. Thank you !

Guitar: Siren and Solar

Colored rings and small tamarind and ebony buttons

First Hipshot had wings: I like them, but the guitar is too modern for me and I like it better now in the wood tone. The originals were also good to the touch, but your Solar are more comfortable than the Mini-Grover Beans and less fiddly - and yours are the more modern ones: which goes much better with the Solar!

I'm thrilled! 🤘🏼🎸😤

I think the Qualitycard is excellent. In general, I'm a friend of resource-saving packaging; so it's a great thing with the upcyclable cushion bags 👍🏼 the tip was helpful! I was happy about the personal welcome greetings in the flyer - I only know them when you buy jewelry on Etsy 😄 fits, that's a comparable experience! 😁

7-String (3l+4r) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Schwarz

Right out of the package,  the machines feel very solid, and installation was a breeze. Everything went together nicely. String changes now take a few minutes as opposed to half an hour. The guitar looks and plays better than new!

Guitar: ESP LTD EC-258 8-String

8-String (4l+4r) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Black Big German Metal

I can highly recommend the locking tuners from Guitar Monkey. They are well made and ensure effortless and quick string tuning. For my 8-string guitar, 2 machine heads for strings up to 0.90 were included in the set. So I had no trouble stringing up a 0.80 string for drop tuning. You can tell from such details that thought was given to the development and that experts are at work. For my LTD guitar, the replacement was done quickly with no complications or extra work.

Excellent mechanics, great buttons. Best functionality and optics!!! I've had no problems mounting it on some of my favorite guitars. Highly recommended.

5-string (3l+2r) bass tuners chrome

I am very impressed by the tuners. The delivery was super fast after extremely friendly advice by email. The first impression after unpacking was very good. The mechanics feel very valuable and are elegant in design and somehow "special" due to the logo. After installation, it becomes apparent that the parts keep what they promise: robust construction, good tuning stability. I'm especially looking forward to it when there are wooden buttons for the mechanics at some point.

4-string (2l+2r) bass tuners black

I have now installed the tuners and am very satisfied so far. In any case, replacing the old mechanics was worth it for me.

6-String (6 inline) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Black

I've had the machine heads for a few days now and I'm super satisfied! 😬

The guitar is now extremely stable. I have to say that I also replaced the bridge and the saddle. In combination, it's all unbeatable 😬.

My Ibanez guitar got Schaller tuners about a year ago and I find both super reliable. Only with the difference that yours are much cheaper. So if I upgrade again, I will definitely end up on your site again 🙂!

I am very satisfied with the price-performance ratio. The locking tuners look awesome and make changing strings a lot easier.

You have a great price-performance ratio, the guitar hardly goes out of tune and the parts look really cool. I also think your commitment to species protection is great.

Guitar: Fender Strat USA and PRS SE

Small German Ebony Buttons and Big German Tamarind Buttons

The two sets of tuner wings arrived safely with me today.
The look, fit, workmanship and feel are excellent or perfect.

I assembled the parts immediately. Looks sensational.
It's a very nice upgrade of the guitars.
An optical highlight.

Guitar: Haunschild Telecaster

6-String (6 inline) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Black incl. Red Rings

The tuners are top notch!!!!

Your concept, design and sustainability (even if the first ones are full metal) absolutely convinced me. And since I live in Middle Franconia, the following still applies to me at Dachau - Weißenburg: Support your local dealer!! That was my credo so far (that's why I had everything from Schaller...) and will remain so, but now from my point of view to the south instead of to the north😀.

Guitar: Gibson Les Paul - Studio

Ebony Vintage Kidney Bean Buttons

The vintage ebony buttons look great on my Les Paul! They feel good and I have the feeling that the Paula is no longer so top-heavy.

The shipping was super fast and the support when choosing the right button was very nice. Gladly again.

Bass: homemade

4-string (2l+2r) bass tuners black

The tuners are great! Thank you for the trouble-free transaction. The tuners run buttery smooth and super precise. No top-heaviness due to the low weight of the tuners. I highly recommend them.

6-String (6l) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Chrome

Hot locking tuners!!! Simple installation, the existing Kluson mechanics could be exchanged 1:1. Stable and great quality. Packing mega and fast shipping. I gave the chrome mechanics a little "brushing" so that they match my worn-out Telly!

Top quality!👌👌🤘

Guitar: Music Man Sterling

6-String (4l + 2r) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Chrome

I found prices, design, concept and that it is a German manufacturer in terms of shipping costs convincing enough to try out the chrome locking tuners. Especially the fact that the right and left mechanics have the same price convinced me. So I got the 4L+2R set for the same price as a 6L set.

Shipping was fixed, 2 working days. The mechanics came in pairs packed in paper bags and a test certificate was also included. The package included all bushings, nuts and washers. The workmanship is very high quality, the mechanics run without play and there were no visual defects to be seen. The knurling on the clamping screw is perfect, the thread runs smoothly. The latter should prove to be very helpful, especially when stringing.

The assembly was unproblematic and the mechanisms fit perfectly into the existing holes. Lazy and frugal as I am, I put the old strings back on first. This is where the ease of movement mentioned above showed its strengths. With a sweeping movement, the clamping screw, which had previously been completely turned back, was closed again, 2-3 movements later the string was securely clamped. No endless cranking and twisting, I was able to complete the clamping process quickly and safely even with the short old string.

The translation and thus the function of the mechanics is very well chosen. The guitar was tuned to the cent within a very short time (strobe tuner in the Line6 Helix). Each string required between a quarter and a half turn of the axle. For exact tuning, I assume the large translation was perfect. I would like to mention that I also lubricated the saddles with a suitable agent beforehand. So it was now possible for me to adjust the octave purity of the guitar even better.

Up and down bends, even moderate dive bombs are no longer a problem. My eBay classifieds bargain no longer has to hide behind my more expensive instruments and has blossomed from a last resort to a solid second instrument.

Gibson SG USA with Hipshot Griplock Locking Tuners and Guitar Monkey Big Vintage Kidney Bean Buttons

I have a set of wooden buttons from you, they fit perfectly on the Hipshot Griplock Tuners, first class workmanship! There have never been tuner buttons made of wood in the shape of a tulip, that would be one of my suggestions.

Gitarre: Harley Benton 8-String

8-String (4l+4r) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Schwarz inkl. Black Ebony Tuner Buttons

Bought one set for 8 string (4r+4l), fits exactly the Harley Benton (original tuners are garbage, but tbh for that price you somehow count with it)... For 7th and 8th string there was a mark on the tuners, so you know what tuner is for the bottom strings. Feel of these wooden tuners is really good, overall quality is great, fast delivery, nice eco frinendly packaging. Can only recommend!

Guitar: unfortunately never found out ;-)

6-String (3l+3r) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Chrome

I ordered these tuners for a guitar but they don't fit (it's my own fault). But I still took a closer look at the tuners. These are perfectly processed and also look good. price is reasonable. I would have preferred to have installed the tuners immediately.

To customer service: Questions were answered very quickly. Shipping was just amazing. Ordered and delivered two days later.

Unfortunately I had to send the tuners back. The money was also transferred back without any ifs and buts.

I would therefore order this tuner again at any time.

Disadvantage: I would have to pay for the return shipping myself.

Gitarre: Fender Stratocaster USA

6-String (6l) Monkey Locks - Locking Tuners Chrom

I've just opened the package and i honestly think that you've done a great job with this tuners! Clearly a premium product! I have Sperzel mounted on one of my Strat to compare and i think yours are way better! Unfortunately, i need to wait my luthier to mount them but, i repeat, great product!

I'll buy for sure another set for my Les Paul!

Gitarre: Taylor GS

Small German Tarmarindenholz Buttons

Beautiful wood buttons that look stunning on my Taylor GS Mini. I'd fitted Gotoh tuners but the weight of the original metal buttons altered the balance of the guitar; however, these wooden buttons are considerably lighter meaning the head no longer gets pulled downwards. Excellent service, the guys at Guitar Monkey even colour matched the buttons to the guitars wood. They may seem expensive but they are superb quality!
