Guitar Basics: What Are Locking Tuners, and Why Should I Care?

Fun fact: I played guitar for several decades before I got serious about learning the intricacies of the instrument.

A good case in point is locking tuners. I was oblivious to them for many, many years until a friend gifted me a set for doing some work on his guitar.

If you are a normal guitarist like I was, you may not exactly know what locking tuners are either. If so, don’t fear! We’re going to talk about them today, explain what they are, and discuss why you might choose to use them (or not).
