Gotoh vintage style locking tuners are great.

I used Schallers - they drop right in.

I'm 95% sure that the Schallers are only drop-in replacements for a Fender with sealed tuners like an American Standard, MIM Standard, etc.

On a guitar like your AV '57 they won't fit without drilling; I'll add my name to those recommending the Gotohs for the AV guitars.
