I'm ordering a Musikraft neck for a Strat project and I want to use Am. Std. tuners (part #0990820100), but I'm wondering what tuner size hole to order. Is it just the standard 10mm? Does anyone know?

Dren68, I don't have a set of those particular tuners to measure but to be sure get the tuners and measure them, cause fixing the wrong hole size is difficult, especially if they need to be enlarged! :shock:

The rule of thumb as expressed in Fender Locking (deluxe) Tuning Machine sales literature is:

Used on American Deluxe Series (USA) instruments. Can be retro-fitted to most US and Mexico made Stratocaster® and Telecaster® models. Will not fit American Vintage Series (US).

Meaning that 10mm is the modern standard and 8.8mm is a vintage spec. Yours is almost surely a 10mm specification. :)

Yep, modern spec Fender tuners fit the 10 mm holes.

Thanks for the help, guys. I appreciate it. I just wanted to be sure before I ordered the neck.
