teleman55 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi. Anyone know the tuner peghole diameter on the Epiphone Special II? Is it 5/16ths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Most guitars are 10mm, the rest are usually around 8mm, the two sizes of the two standard sets of machines, Grovers and Klusons. I know, old names and old numbers but that's how it usually is. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleman55 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah, I'm thinking this is 8mm. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this and knows already. I can measure but this one's for sale and strings are nearly new. I mostly play Fenders but this was my humbucker guitar for the band last summer when money was tight. Recently got an LP and resolved to sell a few things to cover part of that cost and this was one of them. But if it doesn't move soon I may keep it. It won't sell for much anyway and I really like the feel of these. Had one once before. And I got a pair of mean 90 pickups I just took out of a guitar. If I sell this I'll sell those too. But if not...that might be a good match. So if I do, gotta replace the tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Teleman55, If the tuners look like this: Then they are the stock "economy" tuners that come on both Juniors and Special II guitars. They are 8mm holes after removing the bushings. Removing bushings and replacing tuners takes a bit of care. It is however, a relatively simple job if you use the correct tools. If the hole sizes or screw locations need adjusting it is also fairly simple. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleman55 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks Willy. Those are the ones. I've changed tuners before, so that's not a problem. Gotta find some 8mm ones as I'd prefer not to drill. Sent a message to GFS to see if their Vintage Keystones fit. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
