Replacing Fender Aerodyne Fender Japan Tuners with...?

[mybass]

[size=5]I'd like to change my tuners on my Aerodyne Fender Japan. (I think they are standard Gotoh).[/size]
[size=5]Has anyone ever found a direct replacement tuner, Hipshot or other. I'm not keen using the single screw Hipshot lites.[/size]

Answering myself here but.....looks like Hipshot HB 10 is their Fender Japan retrofit model. Waiting to get a reply with the actual schematic from Hipshot...

Surely one of the Gotoh ranges would be good. Are you going lightweight? If so something in Gotohs Resolites range would be good,

Not really. I believe it has Gotoh tuners factory fitted and they are okay but not the best. There are better ratio tuners about and its the screw hole placement that I'm trying to get exact as I didn't want to drill new holes while leaving existing holes showing.

I believe that many Far East Fenders have machine heads from two makers , Ping and s name I cannot remember.

Although the machine heads fitted to the Aerodyne are OK, they are not to Gotoh's usual standard.

I am fitting the GB350 res-o-lites but they are not traditional elephant ears.
