How does it work? Hipshot’s Detuner directly replaces an existing machine head on a guitar or bass. A pre-set lever allows that string to then be dropped down to a second position. The top position is set with the traditional tuning button whilst the low postition is set using the small thumb screw on the tuner body.
Also question is, are all guitar tuners the same size?
Are tuning machines holes all the same size? A: There are several shaft sizes used with tuning machines, ranging from 5/16″ to 11/32″ (many vintage-style tuners) to 13/32″ (10mm; many modern tuners); other sizes were also used.

Simply so, are string retainers necessary?
All guitars don’t need string trees. Guitars without string retainers feature headstocks that tilt backwards at an angle from the neck, creating the proper break angle to keep the strings firmly slotted.
Do I need staggered tuners?
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!
Do string trees affect tuning?
