    Fender Vintera II '70s Jaguar

    Vintera II '70s Jaguar 2023

    Likely drop-in

    This tuner is vintage-hole sized, matching your guitar's existing holes. A locking upgrade without any reaming needed.

    Why we say this

    This tuner is itself vintage-spec at 8.73 to 8.8mm, not modern 10mm. This guitar's stock tuners are genuinely vintage-style F-stamped, non-locking tuners at the same 8.8mm vintage-spec holes, so this is actually a same-size swap, not a reaming or bushing-conversion job.

    LTD H-1001 2022

    Needs verification

    This guitar's exact tuner hole size hasn't been confirmed, and its stock tuners are a different brand than this one. Measure before buying. This tuner is also vintage-hole sized rather than modern, worth factoring into the fit question either way.

    Why we say this

    This guitar's tuner hole size has not been independently confirmed. LTD locking tuners are not the same brand as this Gotoh option, so hole size compatibility has not been verified for this specific model. Separately, this tuner is itself vintage-hole spec (8.73 to 8.8mm), not the modern 10mm size, so even where this guitar's hole size is eventually confirmed as modern 10mm, conversion bushings would be needed regardless.

    Why we say this

    This guitar's exact tuner hole size has not been independently confirmed. Matches the well-corroborated 10mm standard seen across most current Gibson USA models, but not specifically measured on this one. Separately, this tuner is itself vintage-hole spec (8.73 to 8.8mm), not the modern 10mm size, so even where this guitar's hole size is eventually confirmed as modern 10mm, conversion bushings would be needed regardless.

    Hagstrom

    Super Swede

    Needs verification

    The Super Swede already comes with locking tuners from the factory, so this is more of a feel or quality swap than a functional upgrade. Hagstrom does not publish the tuner hole size, so measure your existing posts before buying. This tuner is also vintage-hole sized rather than modern, worth factoring into the fit question either way.

    Why we say this

    The Super Swede already ships with Hagstrom's own 19:1 locking tuners, so this is a quality or feel upgrade rather than a locking-mechanism upgrade. Hagstrom does not publish the tuner post hole size for the current Super Swede, so fitment against Gotoh's standard 10mm hole cannot be confirmed either way. Separately, this tuner is itself vintage-hole spec (8.73 to 8.8mm), not the modern 10mm size, so even where this guitar's hole size is eventually confirmed as modern 10mm, conversion bushings would be needed regardless.

    Why we say this

    Same 10mm hole assumption as the Grover 406 Rotomatic listed as another tuner option for this guitar, and the same unpublished hole size caveat applies.

    Why we say this

    Same 10mm hole assumption as the Grover 406 Rotomatic listed as another tuner option for this guitar. Gotoh's locking tuners are a common semi-hollow upgrade, but without a confirmed hole size for the Viking this stays a plausible fit rather than a verified one. Separately, this tuner is itself vintage-hole spec (8.73 to 8.8mm), not the modern 10mm size, so even where this guitar's hole size is eventually confirmed as modern 10mm, conversion bushings would be needed regardless.

    Ibanez AZES40

    Ibanez

    AZES40

    Needs verification

    This is a vintage-hole tuner, around 8.8mm. Depending on what this guitar's holes actually measure, it may be a closer match than the modern 10mm sets, but that size isn't confirmed either way. Measure first. If the holes turn out larger, Gotoh sell conversion bushings separately.

    Why we say this

    The AZES40 has a curved 6-in-line headstock, so a 6-in-line tuner set is the correct shape here. This particular Gotoh is vintage-hole spec, 8.73 to 8.8mm, not the 10mm modern standard. Ibanez's own AZES40 spec sheet lists the stock tuners as split-shaft machine heads, a vintage-style design that normally uses a bore under 9mm, which would make this tuner a closer size match than the modern 10mm sets. That is not the same as confirming it. The AZES40's actual hole diameter is not published and has not been independently measured, so this could seat directly or could need Gotoh's conversion bushings, which are sold separately for exactly this situation.
