Fender American Special Stratocaster

Fender American Special Stratocaster with the KTS Titanium Saddles & Locking Tuners.

Marshall 30th Anniversary & Vintage Cab. 4x12
(Red Channel is set to low gain...)

Strings : 11/49 - Regarding to the KTS:
No breaking strings anymore, guitar is always in tune, sound is now a hundred times better then with the original saddles, bending strings is much different and easier...
P.S. Many thanks to guys from KTS Japan,
Cheers!!!

Hi great playing and sounds ! Could you tell more about these:

KTS Titanium Saddles & Locking Tuners...whats the point with these?obviusly tone and tuning and to stay in tune when usin whammybar? expensive?

[diagonox]

@2Ooppera

Oh yeah...And the point is: This guitar is great!!! I want to share this fact with others. I try so many expensive guitars, but this have a potential, and it is not expensive. When you change some of the things this guitar start to be really unbelievable instrument. Tone and neck are perfect, wood, finish, everything!!! But if you play little bit harder, bending, use tremolo, then you need better hardware, in this case saddles and tuners. Thank you, cheers!!!

@diagonox Cool! But you didn't answer part 2 of the gent's question. One that I am concerned with too.

That being the locking tuners. I looked on the KTS website and couldn't find them. Are you indeed speaking of KTS LOCKING TUNERS or FENDER/SCHALLER LOCKING TUNERS?

If you were speaking of KTS locking tuners....where can we find them? And do they retro-fit nicely like the Fender/Schallers?

@rich655

If I have correct info. Schaller don't work with Fender anymore, so this are the similar but not exactly the same tuners, made by Mr.Gearhead. (Possible made in China, but quality is OK.) KTS factory is from Japan, and they make only saddles, great saddles. Sometimes you can change everything but it is still not a guarantee that guitar will stay in tune. When you buy guitar for 1000$ you can find many differences between guitars, if you pay 2000$ or more, differences are not that big :)

@rich655

Yes, this tuners fit perfect, you need 5min. to change them!

Go to Fender store and you will find same tuners. If you need KTS saddles just use google, you can order directly from KTS Japan or USA and pay with paypal or credit card. Cheers!!!!!
