So... if my MIM Standard Strat came with (and still has) this kind of tuner:
Fender Standard Series Guitar Tuning Machine
and I want to replace it with this kind:
Fender Pure Vintage Guitar Tuning Machines
what do I need to do? It looks like I'll need to drill two small holes per tuning machine on the back of the headstock, at the very least. Will I need to widen the main hole or anything?
Also, it's hard to tell from the picture, but I think the Pure Vintage tuners are the kind where, like a bass, you clip the string and push the tip down into a hole in the top of the tuner (toward the headstock) rather than threading it through the side like most guitar tuners, right? That's the difference I'm looking for. I like the vintage-style tuners on my Fender Deluxe Players Strat, and I want the same kind for my other Strats.
Thanks!
