Replacement tuners for an old Excalibur Supra? (non-locking to locking)

Congrats !!

About going from 9s to 11s.... I bet you'll need a new nut (or have yours filed)... Otherwise you'll get tuning issues as strings will get trapped in the "too-narrow-nut-slots"

Wildwire guitars has nuts on stock btw
