.....or at least Aaron's way:
I would say locking tuners are a convenience and not a necessity. Though, I have them on some.I haven't poked myself since I switched everything over to hipshot locking tuners, let's see that would be no stabbings since about 2010.

I put them on everything, except for my Tele build which has vintage Kluson-style Gotohs with staggered posts.I would say locking tuners are a convenience and not a necessity. Though, I have them on some.
Well, I don't have lockers on my acoustics, but now that I think of it, it's not a bad idea. I do have Hipshot locking tuning machines on all my electrics - except for one with Gotoh lockers (which I will probably upgrade to Hipshots at some time in the future). Locking tuners are so easy to change strings with it's ridiculous, compared to old fashioned standard tuners; and at least in my experience, have better tuning stability.I have lockers on everything - including my acoustics. So sadly I won't be using Aaron's way
