HI Guys

Well I got my White Mexican Strat and now I want to change the hardware to Gold.

I know the string spacing is 2 1/16" but does anyone know what diameter machine heads I will need?

Any other info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Alan

If your Strat has the cast, sealed tuners (not the vintage style tuners), the holes in the headstock are already 10mm and you should have 2 locating holes for each tuner. No drilling is needed if your intent is to install a set of Fender/Schaller locking tuners or other, similar tuners.
