I didn't think much of this until now when I'm playing the guitar and headstock very much didn't look to be 3/4" thick. Measured with a caliper and got .69" or 11/16". This is how many wraps I've got with a .046" string, easily two with a little gap underneath. I'm not a locking tuner guy, but if I really wanted them I'd give it shot provided your headstock is the same thickness as mine.Jonesie wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 8:14 amThe difference is the height of the post and hole for the string. The non-locking is 22mm (0.84") and the locking is 20mm (0.75"). The Rickenbacker headstock is a frustratingly thick 0.75" on its own.einpresstiefe wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 8:01 amOh I love you too.
I think these are the same with locking posts. Verify the dimensions diagram, but they look to be the same to me.

Just installed the Gotoh's on mine. I had to use the Schaller thread / inserts like you said, but went smoothly otherwise. These things a dream to tune with. Nice and silky smooth, and less clunky than the Schallers.einpresstiefe wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 9:33 pmI didn't think much of this until now when I'm playing the guitar and headstock very much didn't look to be 3/4" thick.

i think between me, pat and my bandmate devan, we have like 80% of every 70's/80's super distortion ever made.
