USA vs. Tribute tuners?

Post by Toejam »

Took the vintage-style tuners off my USA Legacy and put in locking tuners. Someone wants to buy them to put on a Legacy Tribute. Will the vintage tuners fit or are they a different size for Tributes? Also, does anybody know the actual size, like 11/32 or 3/8?

See this post:What tuners are used on G&L guitars (USA models)?

Hope this helps.

I think they're all 10 mm, but the ones off USA models won't be drop-in replacements on Tributes, but if you drill a mounting pin hole they could fit.
