It stays in tune better though than most gibson style guitars that dont even have a tremelo.

GOD BLESS LEO FENDER
That really, really shouldn't work. Especially with that many wraps around the post. The reason locking tuners exist is to reduce the number of wraps. The rationale is less wraps = less string stretching, deforming, and getting caught on itself.

The rest makes sense though, and iirc its exactly what Stevie Ray Vaughan used to do.
