The bridge is different on the 59. From what I have seen, the strings can be a pain to keep in the bridge when putting them on. Hopefully, not having to keep slack to wind will help that.

I also change strings often, and the locking tuners just makes that process much less of a chore...

I'm going to put my grovers on the 59 this weekend. Any idea if that will void my warranty?
I prefer the locking rotomatics as opposed to the roto-grip ones because you dont have to turn the wheel on the back.
They use a cam that locks on the string automatically as you tune up to pitch.
