skydog52 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Looks like they will work. I think the old ones have press in bushing. I can't tell if the new ones are threaded. Check this out. http://guitar-machine-heads.com/hp12610/Guitars.htm?ITServ=CY64895ff5X13f00ca359bXY7918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 The screw bracket on the new ones look like they are more diagonal downwards where the old ones are more on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm not 100% they fit without needing an extra hole or enlarging but I will tell you they are very nice. Had a set on an ESP and loved them. Makes string changes really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoslate Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ...or enlarging.... If the guitar needs the holes enlarged, take it to a luthier, unless you know what you're doing. Easy to drill them out of round, cosmetically foul up the headstock, or even split the headstock. The job should be done with either a hand reamer or a drill press.
