craiguitar Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks for asking this Dodger.....I would like to know the same thing. I just asked this on a thread below about my 'Jeff Skunk Baxter' model. The tuners on it are not marked with a brand name, so I don't know which tuners I can safely replace them with, without resorting to surgery on the headstock.

Actually, no need for an answer now, I just replaced my machineheads with standard Grover Rotomatics. I picked up some off ebay quite cheap. Anyway it took 10 minutes, no trouble and a straightforward swap. Happy now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIX Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 For everyone else who has this same question. I have found that most sealed tuners require a 10mm (9.91mm) hole, but I have never taken out the Epiphone tuners out to verify. I also notice that StewMac sells a 10mm drill bit for installing tuners and two reamers for accurate fitting. From my own experience with tuners I just completed a headstock remodel and when I was ready to install the tuners all I had was a 3/8", which is a bit too small for the tuners I had to use a reamer to enlarge the hole for a perfect fit. Yesterday I did go out and buy a 10mm bit for the next time I have to install tuners. Hope this is helpful to anyone doing this kind of work.
