I got this Harley Benton DC Junior a few years ago and it's been my main axe since.

Only issue is it has the worse tuning stability of any guitar I've owned, Not only going out of tune but getting it to correct pitch can be spotty in the first place.

Any ideas for replacement tuning machines? I've already replaced the nut with a graphtech one a while back and it only slightly helped when tuning up. I also don't mind drilling new screw holes if need be.

I bought these for my Les Paul last year. They fit perfectly.

Gotoh makes good tuners as well, just not sure you'd need them to be locking on a non-trem guitar, but to each their own ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Agreed. I just like it to make changing strings slightly easier.
