Twoferone - machine heads and strings ...

[Back to Bassics]

Hi. I'd be very grateful for some help.

Don't seem to be able to find clear answers anywhere about two things.

First, does anyone know if there are any decent tuners that are drop-in replacements for wavy Grovers? (As used on '70s Rics). I don't care about screw holes, but I'd rather not have to ream out the post holes. Closest I've found is a set of Warwick tuners that will need a bit of reaming round the back, but only about halfway through the headstock, which means any sign of them will be covered if I ever find a set of Grovers.

Second, does anyone know (as opposed to guessing) what gauge strings came on the late '90s MIK Danelectro Longhorns?

TIA for any help :-)
