I received my Affinity Tele last Friday and I bought it with the intention of making it a test bed for upgrades and mods.
What I've replaced so far:
- Graphtech TUSQ XL nut black
- Reverse control plate mod
- CTS pots, CRL USA 3 way switch with strat tip, Switchcraft jack, treble bleed, vintage cloth wires
- GFS Overwound Repro Vintage Alnico Pickups
The next thing on my list is locking tuners.
After reading in other forums, I couldn't find any drop in replacement because of the holes size in the Affinity.
My question is for those who have tried the same mod on an Affinity Tele, which locking tuners have you used and how easy/difficult was it?
Personally, I'm leaning towards vintage locking tuners and if possible the same ones I used on my CV 60s strat which is the Gotoh SD91-MG.
Any help would be appreciated. By the way I like locking tuners because it holds tune well and it's a breeze to change strings
