Tuner upgrade for my 2018 BFG. Peg hole size

[Jay76]

Hi all,

Thinking of upgrading the tradition style Gibson tuners for these: https://www.wdmusic.co.uk/hardware-...-push-fit-bushing-for-8-8mm-headstocks-p13462

Anyone know what my peg hole diameter will be?

They sell these locking tuners in 8.7mm and 10mm.

You may need the conversion bushings for those Klusons. Just replaced stock tuners on a SG special with keystone klusons and had to buy the conversions

From this picture, it looks like it has press-in bushings, so *should* be 8.something mm.

In my experience the tuners which are 10mm usually have the screw-in hex nuts.

Or just remove one tuner and measure it.

The link that you posted is the correct tuner for your guitar (providing that you have the same tuners pictured above).
