I like Schallers, and they should be a direct fit replacement for either the Mexican or American Standards. Another plus is the post-height stagger, which eliminates the need for string trees. I had to add a second string tree to a Mex.Std. to get the proper nut angle on the G string because the buzz drove me crazy, but with staggered tuners, you won't have that problem. It's an added benefit that I just thought I'd share in case you didn't know about it. Hope I could help.

I prefer Sperzels because the piece you turn to lock the string does not come off. My 1989 Strat plus has schallers and I have no plans to replace them but I have seen several used guitars w/ Schallers and that piece is missing. Just my 2 cents. if you get Scahllers, just be carefull not to lose that piece. I will be buying a 3rd set of sperzels for that reason.
