So my Tele is an E series with Gotoh tuners... that are completely shot. I can't even tune a few strings to the exact cent anymore, and the tuning stability is bad.

So I ordered some Fender Schaller Locking tuners. These guys to be exact: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/ ... D=26024109

They have the 2 pins, while the Squier's Gotoh's just attach via 1 screw. Obviously some drilling's involved- that much I expected. Now, my question regards the Japanese measurements, and whether I'm going to have mod the headstock holes to fit them well... and whether the tuners are even tall enough, because it seems like the Squier headstock is thicker than most Fenders. If anyone with 80s Squiers is familiar with some compatible tuning pegs that can replace the Gotohs, I'd be very appreciative!

On a side note... I wouldn't mind changing the saddles without buying a new bridge. Same issue.. will American parts fit, or should just get a new bridge?
