I am currently having a set of Wilkinson locking tuners in my Ibanez RG321. Unlike other locking mechanism, the WJ-807 actually requires the user to wrap-lock the strings so it is devoid of any rotable parts when in use (of course, the tuner itself must be rotable- duh!). This is also the reason why it's affordable.
The tuner post actually features a pair of holes. The user passes the string through one hole (you choose either the top/ bottom hole), make a wrap round the post & insert the remaining length through the other; the string is now locked & ready for tuning.
Like my other locking tuners (Sperzel/ Gotoh), the tuning in this guitar becomes more stable, more notably after deep bends & much thrashing of the lower, thicker gauged strings.
- Product availability: Standard Value
- Price: $46 per set
- Variation: Available in both 6-a-side/ 3+3 arrangements, in black/ chrome

Hi,
