GOTOH locking tuners seem to be a good idea for my Tokais Les Paul as the strings go out of tune constantly. Find out if they fixed the problem?

The Tokais was out of control! No matter what I did this guitar had a big problem with going out of tune at the mere looking at it (or so it felt like that). So I decided to change the tuners for GOTOH locking tuners - and I bought them off eBay for about £100.00 or so.
The Tokai Les Paul had many changes to it including the fitting of Fishman pickups and a Fishman battery which was great. But I had fitted some Gibson Studio tuners and nothing I did could stop the guitar going out of tune. So the time came for me to do this and solve the issue once and for all.
I did not want tuners that needed to modify the guitar in any way, so eventually I settled on these SG301-MG-T LP set and they seem to do the job amicably.
I did show also the Fishman Fluence pickups on the guitar and the Fishman Fluence Les Paul battery also.
Along the way I tell you the issues that I had, so if you are looking for a run through of the problems I had then watch the video.
This is NOT a sponsored video review in ANY way and what I show is factual to what happened when I changed out the tuners.
