Locking Tuner: This is a special type of guitar tuner that actually locks the string to the string post and thus makes string replacement easier and tuning more stable, especially with heavy vibrato arm usage. Many manufacturers offer locking tuners; these include Sperzel, Gotoh, and Phase II PRS/Schaller.
