D'Addario Auto-Trim Tuning Machines/3 Per Side Gold

I can't believe anyone would give less than 5/5 stars on these tuners! They are absolutely the best tuners I've ever used. People who say they don't work are stoned and unlock them to release the string or something. These are a no brainer. Get them!

I contacted D'Addario about putting these on a Jackson 7 string and they said if I send them the order confirmation they'd send me the 7th tuning machine for free and I had it in about a week.

these auto trim your strings. they then allow your strings to fall out of tune every 6 seconds. worst product i have ever purchased for music. completely ruined my sg. will be putting factory machine heads back on and shooting at these with my shotgun.

Worked awesome for around 2 years and then literally fell apart one by one. I wasn't over tightening, or anything. Irreparable, the locking mechanism got loose and very quickly fell out of it along with gears. Not a happy camper, but I guess that's what you get with cheaper tuners. Other than that, easy install of course, stayed in tune pretty well, and worked as you would like them, minus the eventual implosion. 🤷‍♂

How about this. Use Wire Cutters instead. Just like everybody else. Wire Cutters? What are they for? The Electrician and Electronics work for cutting COPPER wire. Soft wire at that. What a String. Hard Steel, like fencing. So what's to use. Fence Cutters or String Cutters. They are made to cut HARD wire, even strings, but no one uses them. Why? They haven't figured it out. So you got them for your regular tuners so you can restring. You tell them about your String Cutter's, Next thing you know, you can't find them. Solution, use these tuning keys. They are less likely to disappear then those, where did the go, String Cutters. O'boy.

I already had Fence Cutters, when I was a kid, writing songs & recording. They worked. Wire Cutter do not work, they are for cutting Copper Wire. They don't use copper wire to make those strings. Ergo, Copper Wire Cutters get trashed when you use them for cutting strings. Get Fence Cutters if you line on the Farm or nearby like I did, or as I do now, get String Cutters from Musicians Friends, like I have, both ways, Tuner Keys that trim the String & I also have String Cutters. I need to mount new tuners any way, according to me, either the feel or the look. They have got to set the string & keep the set. One stretch, the first night, then just some touch ups. Three weeks and restring, the highs will start to fade if you don't. That's what I did when I was recording. Heart by Bill Berne '64, Fleet by Bill Berne '64, Creedence by JT Berne '64, Man from Atlantis by Bill Berne '64, just some of what I did, in that order..
