Wilkinson WJN07 Left Handed 6-in-line EZ-LOK Guitar Tuners - Chrome

In this review the Wilkinson WJN07 Left Handed 6-in-line EZ-LOK tuners are evaluated for lefty Strat and Tele players who need a direct-replacement set of machine heads that balance tuning accuracy and installation simplicity. The bottom line: these are solid, full-metal tuners with a 19:1 gear ratio and E-Z-LOK posts that make string changes easier without the complexity of true locking tuners. For players restoring or upgrading a left-handed Stratocaster or Telecaster project, they offer precise tuning and a familiar 6-in-line layout.

Key Features

• Left-handed 6-in-line design: Built specifically for lefty Strat and Tele configurations so installation aligns with standard left-hand peg layouts.
• 19:1 gear ratio: Provides fine, smooth tuning adjustments for accurate intonation and stable tuning under normal playing conditions.
• E-Z-LOK post: The EZ-LOK system simplifies restringing by securing the string in the post without being a true locking tuner, making swaps quicker.
• Fits common peg holes: Sized to fit 10mm (25/64 in) peg holes and 45 degree screw hole spacing so they match many Strat and Tele mounting patterns.
• Full metal construction: All-metal housings, washers, bushings and included mounting screws give a durable feel and ready-to-install kit.
• Packaged set: Includes six tuning pegs so a complete headstock change requires no additional parts.

Who It's For

These tuners are aimed at left-handed guitarists who own a Stratocaster or Telecaster style electric guitar and need a like-for-like replacement set with a 6-in-line layout. They are also a good choice for builders and repair techs working on lefty builds who want consistent post height and a practical, non-locking EZ-LOK restringing aid.

Players who require true locking tuners for aggressive tremolo use or those needing nonstandard post heights should look elsewhere. Also check fitment if your headstock uses different peg hole diameters or nonstandard screw spacing despite the common 10mm and 45 degree references.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Consistent 19:1 gear ratio delivers fine tuning control suitable for precise setup.
• Left-handed, 6-in-line layout matches Strat/Tele headstocks for direct replacement.
• Full metal kit with washers, bushings and screws included makes installation straightforward.
• E-Z-LOK posts make string changes quicker than standard posts without extra hardware.

Cons

• E-Z-LOK is not a true locking system, so it may not provide the same string lock security as dedicated locking tuners.
• All tuners use the same M height post, which may require a string tree on some headstocks to control break angle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these tuners locking?
They use an E-Z-LOK post which eases restringing but it is not a true locking tuner.

Will they fit my Strat or Tele?
They are sized for 10mm (25/64 in) peg holes and 45 degree screw holes, making them compatible with most Strat and Tele style headstocks.

Do I need a string tree?
All EZ-LOK posts use the same M height, so some headstocks may require a string tree to maintain proper break angle.
