I'm in the process of replacing my strat neck with a new one but I have a question. I purchased some vintage style Fender "F" tuners off Amazon for about $40. I did notice on the Fender packaging that they were made in South Korea. My question is, did I just buy some cheaper versions of the tuners? Do they outsource building these or is there a way I can buy American? I'm worried I just bought a cheaper alternative that's not going to keep me in tune. Thanks.

They're probably outsourced, but don't worry, because the originals were rubbish, and the outsourced one's are likely as not better made 8)

Will they fit on your neck ? American size ( ? ) with metric size ( ? )

Pretty sure they will fit. It's a Warmoth neck and I had them drill for Schaller/Vintage dimensions. If they don't fit, I have some Fender Schaller types on my American Standard I can throw in.

Why were the originals crap? The reason I ask is that I'm trying to basically put together a 1968-esque strat. I have my maple jumbo headstock neck being built right now at Warmoth (vintage satin finish).

I'm throwing that neck on my 98 American standard body. I will eventually replace the pickups but for now I'm sticking with my Sumarian Cobalt Vintage Noiseless PU's.
