What locking tuners does Reverend use?

[mtmartin71]

I've got a Daredevil and one of the pin locks seems to not be catching anymore on the b string. Would like to order some new ones but it's not apparent looking at them who makes them.

Wilkinson EZ Lock, I believe. Maybe available here: http://www.guitarpartscentral.com/wi...ar-tuners.html

Ah, the miracle of Google.

Those look very close but different. The shape and the location of the screw looks like it might match, but the Reverend I have has a pin wheel bottom. Maybe he's replaced them with these? I'll fire an email to Joe at Reverend and see if these are drop in. Thanks for the head's up.

They look to me like they are the same ones that Guitar Fetish sells although theirs are staggered and I don't believe that the Reverends are.

I don't know the brand they currently use, but it's not the Wilkinson EZ Lock. They used to use the EZ Lock, which has 2 holes in the shaft instead of a mechanical locking mechanism. Sometime in the last couple of years they switched over to the pin lock tuners. I'm sure one of the Rev-heads here will provide more detail.

These look like the ones. Does the staggering mean some tuning peg arms would be longer than others even in a 3x3 config?

Just an update...

Ken at Reverend Guitars offered to send me a replacement for that tuner...no questions asked other than my address to send it to. How cool is that!

So to confirm, I received a replacement from Reverend and it matches this link...I'm guessing exact. The replacement from Reverend had shorter post and the thumbscrew was a different style so I'm guessing it's just a different rev. I think when they have more in stock, I'll order a set of these from Guitarfetish. Only $30.

Glad to hear they took care of you -- Reverend's stellar reputation lives on!
