To loosen the tension (making the tuning gears easier to turn), simply use a screwdriver to turn the screw on the end of the tuning button counterclockwise. Turn the same screw clockwise to tighten the tension on the tuning gear (making it more difficult to turn). Caution: Too little tension on the tuning gears causes the strings to slip out of tune. Fender recommends a firm (not over tightened) tension on the tuning gears. Locking Several guitars are equipped with locking keys that also feature "zero" string backlash. These unique keys provide a positive string lock to the post (with minimal string wrap) that keeps the guitar in tune during tremolo use.
