    Mounting pattern

    No drilling: Hipshot's Universal Mount Plate clamps to the existing 13/32 inch (10mm) holes with reach nuts and washers. Bass-side set. Staggered posts (2x 21mm, 2x 20mm, 2x 19mm), for 6-in-line headstocks that do not tilt back.

    Installation notes

    Remove the old tuners and their bushings, fit the plate, then fit the tuners through it with the reach nuts. Hipshot say the only tool needed is a 10mm wrench.

    Fits 10mm holes with no drilling, but the mounting plate has to suit your headstock's tuner spacing and shape, and Hipshot don't list models. Check yours first.

    Why we say this

    Hipshot make this kit (6K1EL0C-STAG) for 13/32 inch (10mm) tuner holes, the size most modern sealed and locking tuners use. We haven't found a published tuner hole size for this guitar. The Universal Mount Plate clamps to the existing holes with reach nuts, so Hipshot say no drilling is needed and the original tuners can go back on with no marks. The catch is that the plate has to suit the gap between your tuners and the shape of your headstock, and Hipshot don't publish a list of guitars it fits. This is the bass-side version, for tuners along the bass side of the headstock. The posts are staggered for a flat headstock; on a headstock angled back the strings break more steeply over the nut, which doesn't stop it fitting. Take one tuner off and check the hole is 10mm before ordering.

The Universal Mount Plate clamps to the existing holes with reach nuts, so Hipshot say no drilling is needed and the original tuners can go back on with no marks. The catch is that the plate has to suit the gap between your tuners and the shape of your headstock, and Hipshot don't publish a list of guitars it fits. This is the bass-side version, for tuners along the bass side of the headstock. The posts are staggered for a flat headstock; on a headstock angled back the strings break more steeply over the nut, which doesn't stop it fitting. Take one tuner off and check the hole is 10mm before ordering.
