I bought this guitar like 3 years ago, HImor brand, made in China, for like $225. I like it quite a bit. One downside though is that the tuners suck, too much play in them. What can you recommend as a replacement?

Big fan of gotoh and schaller locking tuners. I have them on everything.
Ditto.
I have a guitar with a L3/R3 style headstock that has no back tilt and I was able to order them in different post heights depending on which string (E’s are longest shaft, A and B are medium height, and D and G are the shortest) and it creates the perfect back pressure on the nut for each string without the need for string trees. Gotoh is HIGHLY recommended.
On my hacked-up, fake, RG-p90 build that I never finished, I have the 6 in line and I think they are 2 short, 2 medium, and 2 long, it kind of doesn’t matter since it has a locking nut but if you didn’t want a string tree on a strat it would be nice for sure.
