Tone+Volume

I have one Epi Studio with the stock Grover tuners. They work, and look great. I just got an Epi Junior. I changed the "Epi" tuners to the Wilkinson. I was happy that my first had stock Grovers. They have performed well so far.

I just added wilkinson locking tuners to my Epi LP Jr.. I will not recommend the path I took. It was a cheap guitar, and I had very little time that Day. I was way impatient. That combo usually brings lessons learned and maybe some heartbreak. I used a sharp 3/8 drill bit and some clamps for pressure and a lot of prayer. I made it through, but would do a reamer and some patience if it was more than a 50 dollar guitar. If I tried it again I would prob get a pile of broken pieces.

Pouring one out for my homie....Washburn Lyon series Strat copy...may it rest in pieces! Yeah a file and some patience is going to be my route. Step two ROCK!!!

I am about to go through the process myself. From all my research it appears that I am going to need to widen the holes on my Epi. Most seem to use a file "reamer" that widens the holes. The other option is let mr Sam (Luthier) take it. I have heard a couple talk about using drills and sharp bits. I am going to attempt it on my cheapo junior with a file. If I break it ....while sad.... I can handle it. If it is does not come out right then when Mr. Sam gets his hands on it anyway he can straighten me out. Short answer yes you probably are going to have to modify it.
