I bought these tuners for my squier strat and they make a world of difference. The original strat tuners were worthless from the start. These are very basic and easy to install...I had to use a 3/8" drill bit to enlarge the peghead holes but other than that it was quick and easy. They keep the guitar in tune and when I do tune back up they are smooth. I bought some gotoh tuners of the same style and these seem just as good. Get them if you need to replace yours and don't want to spend a fortune.
