Schaller locking tuners

[Schlieren]

I ordered nickel-plated Schaller locking tuners from the Netherlands a few weeks ago and they arrived today.

I am pretty sure that they messed up on the order, however; from looking at the tuners they sent, I received 2 with the roman numeral "II" on them, and 4 with the roman numeral "III" on them.  From this picture here, it appears fairly clear that I should have 3 of each, right?

How much of a big deal is this going to be do you think, in terms of tuning stability or whatever with tremolo use?

I'm using an LSR roller nut and a TremKing locking tremolo, so I don't know if, should it turn out to be too much a PITA to get another tuning head from my supplier, I might have to order yet another set from another supplier. . .

I suppose I should add that the "II" and "III" shafts are as described in the photo linked; I received only 2 of the tuners used at the end of the headstock, farthest from the nut.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be two lower ones (high e and b) and the rest the same. Personally I don't think you get enough angle out of the schaller staggers to go without a tree.

/rant/ I can't figure out why people accept you need a good solid break angle at the bridge, and the reason the Jazzmaster trem sucks is because of insuffficient angle, yet nobody seems to believe you need the same angle off the nut. It's the exact same principle /endrant/

My strat with schallers has the two lower ones on the D and G, and the b and high e use a string tree, and that works great. Stays in tune, because my nut is properly cut and doesn't grab the strings.

Schlieren, great minds must think alike. I am planning on using a Trem King with the LSR roller nut, as well. I will be using the GFS Sperzel knock off staggered tuners. They have 2 high, 2 medium, and 2 low. From what I've read, you do not need string trees with the LSR. Fender doesn't use them, and W states that you don't need them - something about how they damp the string behind the roller.
