Grover Rotomatic a direct drop in for a 2010 Traditional with Klusons?

[Ninja1195]

My 2010 LP Traditional has the new Kluson tuners with the screw in bushings. I'd like to swap them out for a set of Grover "Kidney Bean" tuners.

I am pretty sure that the actual holes in the headstock will not be an issue. I was hoping that the screw on the Grovers would line up with the bottom screw hole left behind from the stock Klusons. I am ok with an empty top screw hole but do not wish to drill any new holes.

Suggestions or comments please?

I've done the opposite swap, the holes did not line up.

Same here, I've done the opposite and the holes did not line up.

Try Stew Mac's site. They usually have detailed diagrams with specs for all the tuners. You can probably get the exact measurements and compare them.

Yup. Holes don't line up.
