Locking Tuners for Ibanez RG

[BlackFalcon17]

I'd like to replace the tuners on my Ibanez RGIR20FE and RG1421 with locking tuners. If possible, I'm looking for drop-in replacements so that I won't have to do any modifications, but I can't find the specs for them anywhere. These d'addario auto-trim look interesting https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PWAT6R1

If could tell me if these would work, or something else that would, that'd be cool!

Should be drop in because the tuners in there now should be Gotoh's

I just put these in my S5527 and dropped right in. Super easy to install and great tuners.

Oh, I didn't even think of looking up Gotoh locking tuners. Thanks guys!

Get some nice Gotoh DSL tuners. Saves weight and the ugly thumbwheel...

I don't see the thumbwheel as I'm too busy shredding

Take one off and measure the hole

I bought some Gotoh MG-T locking tuners off of eBay for a couple of my Ibanez's and they were a direct swap. Only thing I had to do was drill some pilot holes for the little screws but other than that I couldn't be happier.

Really appreciate all the replies, guys!

Okay so it will require a bit of drilling? Thanks for the heads up

The only drilling is just some tiny pilot holes. No biggie.

Direct swap with drilling, that's so metal.

If you don't want to drill, just tighten the but holding the tuners in (that's what I do with my Planet Waves Auto-trims. Please use a ratchet so you don't scratch anything.
