Replacement tuners for squier bullet mustang?

freemeat

Looking for advice on decent tuners to upgrade the stock squier ones. Seen a lot of people say they've done it but struggling to find suggestions if which to look into getting. Anyone able to recommend some that'll do the job?

What diameter and depth are the holes drilled through the headstock to accept the original machineheads? 

Do you have the tools and confidence to ream those holes to a wider diameter?

Chances are, a set of replica Kluson safety tuners would fit without major modification. If the stock 'heads are fastened with either rear-facing pegs or a locator lug and screw, these holes may be left visible after the upgrade.

The tuners on there should be perfectly fine.

If you want to replace them though, any 6-in-line 135° keys* such as these Gotohs should fit.

* 135° is the angle of the fixing screw

Why do you need to change them? The stock ones are fine.

At least 95% of all tuning problems are caused by things other than the machineheads, and when you've already got proper diecast/threaded-collar ones, probably at least 99%.

Nut job. Specifically, flaring out the string slots with the appropriate files.
