This guitar's tuner holes are the modern larger size, not the smaller vintage size this tuner is built for. It will sit loose without an adapter.

A vintage-post tuner in an oversized 10mm hole would sit loose rather than seat properly, the reverse of the usual vintage-to-modern reaming problem, and needs a bushing adapter or hole-filling rather than being a simple swap.
