SX Mod Help

I have a new SX burst 5er comming and I am going to put the Black Chrome hardware from my MTD on the SX but I have a couple questions.

1. Does anyone know if the string spacing is .750 on the SX like it is on the MTD?

2. Just realised the tuner hole is 11/16th on the SX and the MTD tuners are smaller. Has anyone ever filled and resized the holes or can you line the hole with some sourt of tubing?

3. Does a standard Jazz pickguard fit?

How bad are the pups and electronics?

Thanks
Dano

3. No, IIRC. You will have to make it fit.
