Precise toys made in China!
As a rule, I am using Planet Waves tuners on all my guitars. Yet, I had a need for locking tuners to put on cheap Squier guitar.
PW are expensive, so I bought those Harley Benton.
Really nice surprise!
PROS:
- they are smooth and accurate
- they hold properly (guitar stays in tune even with dive-bombing)
- they are incredibly affordable
- they look definitely not cheap
- they look good
CONS:
- screws feel like aluminium (good tuners, and such screws, Thomann, really?)
- there is no big brand name on them ;-)
Now - I mentioned, I am using PW tuners. Sure, on guitars worth 1000+ Euro you want expensive stuff (and PW cut string by themselves). But, if you are on budget, or you paid 100 Euro for a guitar, or you do not need fancy tuners with scissor function on them, Harley Benton Locking Tuners are really good choice.
Yes, they are made in China. But they are very well made in China. If only the mounting screws will be of better material (steel, please!), those very affordable tuners will easily compete with toys that are three times more expensive!
In one sentence: very good product from Thomann.
(One star off for quality because of those damn screws.)

Pretty neat
Installed in an Ibanez RGA45FM, the tuners are pretty much exactly the same as the standard Ibanez ones in that guitar, apart from the locking mechanism. They seem to work great so far, the locking mechanism is strong and they look great.

Great affordable tuners for your budget guitar!
You have a budget guitar and you don't want to spend whole or half of its value on tuners? Savior Harley Benton just came to help us! I bought these tuners for my Jackson JS11, they are a perfect fit. The tuning stability is way better than it was before and changing strings is super easy and quick! The only bad thing you can really say about them is the weight, since they are pretty light. In some way it is a good thing since you can avoid neck dive, but it definetly feels cheaper and less 'premium'. I really reccomend those!

Brilliant.
High quality locking tuners, they look great and they do their job well.
Had them on for about a week now and they haven't let me down. Build quality is brilliant.
The "action" on them is smooth and precise enough to make fine tuning easy.
I had to drill out the tuner holes in my neck to fit them so make sure they are the right size if you're uncomfortable doing this yourself and don't know anyone you would trust enough to do it for you.

Easy and Simple To Install
I used these Locking Tuners on my Harley Benton TE-20 and they were so easy to install it took me no longer that 10 minutes to replace.
Pros - Look fantastic, prefect fit, easy to install, improved tuning stability and excellent value for money!!
Cons - tuners can be a bit stiff, but after a re-string they were good to go!
If you're looking for a cost effective alternative to replace your tuners, look no further. I have had many guitars with different branded locking tuners and I can very highly recommend these!

They do the job
First locking tuners I've tried. They worked perfectly. Feeling while tuning up was also an improvement over my stock Schecter tuners, so I'm happy with them. They are very light as well.

Great Value
Awesome, have two sets of these now for a strat build and a cheaper Harley Benton.
If you want to upgrade a guitar that doesn't have locking tuners, this is an awesome upgrade for more tuning stability.
They look great and great value for money (39 euros). Next step up for finer adjustment is ratio tuners but then you are talking 130+ euros..
