I am attempting to install schaller tuners into an epiphone les paul that I
have. My question is, the schaller tuners are wider towards the bottom of
the machine head. Basically I believe the stock tuners are 1/4" and the
bottom of the schaller tuners are 3/8". Does anyone have any experience
with installing these on an epiphone LP? Should I drill to accomodate the
size of the tuners? If so do I drill from the front or back of the head
stock? The front of the head stock appears to be countersunk...is this
reccomended too? One last question...If I should drill, do I increase the
size of the whole by going from the actual size in increments of 1/16" ????
If anyone can help me it would be great...I apolojize for asking so many
questions! THanks again!

Wouldn't it make more sense to get some tuners with the same specs as the
originals?

| I would get some tuners that fit instead of drilling unless you just have
to do it. ____________________

I agree.
I've had to drill headstocks in the past and it's easy to mess up if you're

I wouldn't try it. One slip and you will have some major problems.
Get some tuner machines that already fit
