Jackson Professional Stealth HX help with tuners

[yuri_1973]

Hi all,

I'd like to replace the tuners on my '94ish Stealth HX, and I'd like to ask if anyone knows about direct replacements for these.

I mainly ask because I've measured the distance between center of axis and center of screwhole, and it looks to be 10mm

I've looking at usual similar tuners, (gotoh, even modern jackson tuner kits I see on ebay) with the same screw placement (the so called "135º" or "5 o'clock"), BUT they all seem to be 11mm from screwhole to center of axis.

Any hints anyone?

I believe they're Gotoh.

I believe they're Gotoh.

thanks .... do you have of those on any of your guitars? are they 10mm or 11mm?

[toejam]

I don't know the size. I had a Dinky HX but sold it last year.

They're 10mm.
Gotoh SG381's are a direct swap, or new Jackson tuners, which are also Gotoh made will drop in.

I had already checked those Gotoh's, but in their spec sheet clearly states that this measurement is 11 mm (not 10 mm, hence no direct swap unless I'm missing something) ... see the diagram here:

Yes, 11mm for that measurement. All my guitars, both USA and MIJ are the same. If there were smaller dimensions offered on earlier models I'm not aware of it.
