What does a roller nut do?

Which fender stays in tune the best?

Are locking tuners worth it Strat?
The Quick Answer. Locking tuners are worth it if your guitar has a tremolo or you are using thinner gauge strings which means you are struggling to keep it in tune. If your guitar does not suffer from tuning instability then it may be better to stick with standard tuners.
How much string do you leave on locking tuners?
Locking tuners There is no need to wind the string around the post as the locking mechanism is carrying out the job for you. Ah, restringing bliss! There is one caveat to this, we would suggest leaving about 1cm of slack so there’s a small amount string wrapping around the back of the post.
Do I have to Untune my guitar after playing?
No, you do not need to detune your guitar or loosen the strings when you’re not playing it. In fact, do not do this as it will most likely cause damage to the neck of the guitar over time.
Are staggered tuners worth it?
Staggered tuners can work better because they remove string friction points, however you may not get enough string break-angle on higher strings which can cause further issues. The choice often comes down to your particular guitar and your playing style. Even with staggered tuners you may still need a string tree!
Are Fender LSR nuts any good?
The Fender LSR nut is wider than most stock nuts, and won’t just drop in to the existing slot. Nut placement is absolutely critical – if it’s even slightly off the entire guitar will be out of tune. If the nut is place incorrectly, the guitar’s scale length changes, making every fret in the wrong place. This has to be done right.

Should I change my Fender guitar to a roller nut and locking tuners?
I have changed all my Fenders to the roller nut and locking tuners… for Tremolo guitars this is a must option and adds greatly to the tuning stability. I have two American strats, an American Telecaster and a Fender Jaguar all with roller nuts, Schaller locking tuners (Tele has Stetsbar added). This is the way Leo Fender should have built them.
Should I replace the roller nut on my 93 Strat plus?
I purchased this to replace the LSR roller nut already on my 93 Strat Plus. It was just time as the balls were getting gummed up after so many years of gigging. If you are adding this nut to a guitar that doesn’t have a roller nut, you will love it. IT comes with all the shims you will need as well as the spacer plate for adding it to some guitars.
