Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone here has picked up a set of grover mini locking tuners. I ordered a set through ebay, and when I got them, I realized they were for Gibson style head stocks (not in-line, like on Fender head stocks). So I sent them back and requested the in-line set. I finally got them today, and started to install, and do my disappointment, the screw hole (which has the screw that goes into the back of the head stock) does not line up with the current mini Grovers. It looks like I could drill a small hole which would line up with the mini-locking tuner holes, however, because the hole would be so close to the existing hole, I'm afraid if I drilled/screwed in the screw in a new hole, I could ultimately make the two small holes into one (if my drilling was even slightly off).
I guess my question is, 1) has anyone picked up a set of these and installed....and if so, did yours line up perfectly with the existing tuners (the hole that is). And 2) do you think it's safe to tap another small hole in the back of the headstock to accommodate for the locking tuners.
I'm getting really tired of sending these back...if the in-line set doesn't fit, are there different model sets?...particularly a set that would match up perfectly with the ones on the Charvels?
Any suggestions are really appreciated.
Thanks
Todd
