I attached a picture of the SN of my Squire Bullet.

As far as I know it’s a Squire Standard Bullet made in 2017. Is this accurate?

Also, I’m trying like hell to find some replacement tuners that will drop in without modding the peg holes. I know hipshot makes some that will work but cost $50-$60 and I know Graphtech makes some that cost around $100.

I’m trying to find Fender ones that will fit, preferably.

I took my digital caliber and measured the post of the stock tuners I took off this Bullet and the width of the posts are 5.9mm. The peg holes are approximately 7.36mm.

Please help

Your serial number is ICS17135111
I can't find the year.

Why new tuners ? Check nut slot before, with bad nut slot tuner may not be accurate.

Check at Stew Mac all dimensions are there.

And seriously, anything cheaper than $50-$60 is not going to be any better than what you have.

The Bullet is an inexpensive student model that will never be worth more than what you paid for it.
If there is an actual problem with it, then it is worthwhile to correct, but it is not worth upgrading for the sake of upgrading.
You have a Corolla. It is never going to be an IS300.

You may be right about the Squier Bullet but totally wrong about Corolla.
As a owner of 3 corolla over 30 year, I never had any issue, put gas change oil and new brakes at every 70,000 miles, that's it. Corolla is a workhorse like American standard guitars.

By the way we know what you are talking about ; With guitars, you have what you pay for...most of the time

But it's still not going to be an IS300.
I have a 2016 Corolla, I've got almost 85,000 miles on it. Like my previous Toyotas, it's among the best cars I've ever owned.
But it's not a Lexus and no amount of bolting on leather and noise dampening is going to make it a Lexus.

And on the guitar, sometimes it depends on what the goal is.
I bought a Harley Benton singlecut, fully intending to gut it and rebuild it. Yep... the Mojotone P90s cost more than the guitar, and with the locking tuners added in, I probably could have bought an Epiphone Gold Top...
But I'd have made those changes to the Epiphone as well, and I will always have these parts. The cheap Harley Benton is a good guitar for my to practice fretwork (though it's not that bad now)
But my goal was to have something cheap to work on.
The Mojotone pickups were an impulse buy
