A superb addition to my SC-550 II FTF
Like many purchasers of this fantastic Les Paul homage, in my case the SC-550 II FTF B-Stock (B stock I hear you ask. Well yes B stock and this guitar came to me in 100% perfect condition), I wasn't a fan of the mucus coloured tuning pegs.
After some consideration, I decided to buy a chrome set of locking tuners. I purchased a set (Chinese) that worked out to be less than half the price and when they arrived I set about fitting them. All went well, however when I tuned up the high E and B strings, both were snapped at the machine heads.
Off they came and went straight back for a refund. I was looking at these Harley Benton locking tuners for a while and went ahead and ordered a set.
Now, I already knew that the holes in my SC-550 II FTF would be too small so ahead of time I ordered a reamer tool from an online shop for £4.50. When the locking tuner set arrived, it was so so easy to enlarge the holes in the headstock and visually, you would never have known that this quick job had been performed.
In went the new tuners within 40 mins including strings and fully up to tune. WOW! What a visual difference to this splendid instrument. The turning is stable and smooth and the convenience of locking tuners is worth the price alone.

Best £35 I ever spent!
I use these on my Harley Benton CST24T in Emerald Green, which is already an amazing guitar... But now... Well, let's just say my only decision for my next guitar is which colour CST24T do I buy next? I will absolutely be buying Harley Benton locking tuners for any and every guitar I buy from now on!
Pros
Easy to install, do exactly what they say on the tin. I rarely have to tune my guitar now and it makes re-stringing an absolute doddle!
Cons
That these had to be purchased separately... Personally, I think every guitar should have them as standard. But that's not a knock on the product, just my opinion.

Very good tuners for the price
I believe this is the best "bang for buck" one can get for tuners. Surely, Wilkinson or Gotoh will feel a tad better on the surface, but this set does the job perfectly and, at this price, it is difficult to beat.
They tune well and smoothly enough, the locking mechanism works well too.
The metal surface finishing does not look the highest quality, but does not get to be a compromise, especially at this price.
Highly recommend.

Always improves your Harley Benton guitar
I have four Harley Benton guitars, including an acoustic, and as a matter of course I always fit them with these locking tuners. A vast improvement to tuning at a very reasonable price.

SC 550 II PAF
Got them to upgrade HB SC-550 II PAF
They do not fit without drilling 10mm holes if your down to do this then they are great also watch out when removing old tuners cause you can easily ship off paint if nor careful would recomend to heat it up a bit so paint is not si brittle when removing it

Perfect addition to my Harley Benton SC-550 II DFB
Purchased these the same time as my Harley Benton SC-550 II DFB and they finish off the guitar lovely as the ones that the guitar come with aren't very nice so these were much needed and it really makes a difference to how the guitar looks and stays in tune. Well worth the purchase and a great addition.

Great upgrade for stock tuners
I have installed it on Harley Benton CST, perfect fit, much more stable than stock tuners that were just horrible.

Good enough
When you consider that mostly you just lock and set the tuner, this tuner performs well. They're on a cheap guitar. I've no complaints. They do exactly what I want and they're cheap. Also a direct replacement for the old ones.

Best locking tuners
I bought a Harley Benton CST-24T (PRS copy) but there wasn't locking tuners installed, so when i bought and installed the Harley Benton Locking tuners they perfectly fitted in.
The use of the tremolo has become such a blessing, i always use tremolo intensively and with new tunners i don't even touch the tunners incase of tunning stability !
