Most tuners have good enough gear ratios that they are accurate enough. Only Sperzel locking tuners are a bit ....ty in this regard but even they are ok.

Fine tuners are only needed because of the way a Floyd Rose system is made. If the nut was a smarter design that was easy to open and close without affecting the tuning, it would not need fine tuners in the first place.

With non-locking designs like the Hipshot you don't need fine tuners because the regular ones do the job. The drawback is that they don't allow as much whammy abuse or stay in tune as well.

I have a PRS SE Custom 24 with non-locking trem and struggle to make it go out of tune. I'm not sure what I'm missing by not having a Floyd, but I'm not missing it.
