Did the ones you bought look like this with the fender logo?


My '81 P has tuners identical to these - I fitted a hipshot D-tuner to it with no drilling so the hipshots would work as well


Unless its an [s]early 70s [/s] 50s or 60s neck in which case you'd need the reverse type which I believe were phased out around 1966 (I'll check my books later when I get home)


or was it the reverse ones (with rivets) you bought that didn't fit?

Hey Jean-Luc, amny thanks mate, that's really helpful (and comprehensive). When you say 'ricets' in relation to the reverse tuners, are you refering to the fact that these need a slight modification to the back of the headstock to be accomodated (i.e., a shallow cresent shaped route under each tuner)?
Cheers
Chris

No, what I meant was that the elephant ear bit of each tuner is held onto the shaft by a rivet which makes the reverse ones easy to spot from a distance (also the "ear" isn't quite as big on those so the shaft appears a bit longer).
