WTB: one Fender locking tuner - yes just one...

ADPADP Frets: 184
in Parts £
I know it's unlikely, but does anyone have a single Fender locking tuner? I've bought a neck on eBay, and it comes with five locking tuners and one non-locking tuner, so if you have one you don't need or you have a set of five non-locking tuners and one locking tuner, perhaps we could help each other out.

    Do you require the Schaller type - as fitted to US Fender guitars - or the type with a letter F on the locking thumbwheel, made by Ping Well, usually fitted to MIM guitars?
    Be seeing you.

    I realised after I posted that I hadn’t specified which one I need. It’s the second type. I’ve bought a MIM roasted maple and pau ferro neck with five Ping Well locking tuners with an “F” on the thumb wheel. I have no idea why only five. The other one is the equivalent non-locking tuner.

    Short post or tall post?

    And modern Fender style buttons or butter bean style as both are available on the Ping Well lockers Fender use.

    Edit: the eBay seller that I've purchased individual locking tuners from previously doesn't currently have any listed - sorry.

    I could work with either. I just want one to match the others. I have a set or two of non-locking tuners that I could take the button off if necessary and I don't mind if the post is short or tall. Can you post the eBay seller's name or send it to me in a PM? I can keep an eye on his listings that way just in case.

    Thanks very much.

    @ADP the individual short locker I purchased was from John Southwart (johnnyguitarfirstavenueguitars). Personally I would hold out for a short post tuner if you can and go 4 short, 2 tall to avoid a second string tree. Perhaps try messaging John to see if he has one, or is getting more into stock. There is a link to an unrelated item of his on eBay so that you get the correct seller (couldn't see how to share a seller directly).

    Thanks very much for that. I've bought a number of things from John over the years. I'll send him a message.
