Tuners on Warmoth neck

[Risor]

Hi all,

a short question - has anybody ever tried Hipshot HB3(http://store.hipshotproducts.com/car...oduct_list&c=2) tuners on a standard Jazz neck from Warmoth? Do they fit?

ok, what I meant was - isn't the peghead too small for these kind of tuners? has someone tried these...?

I have the Standard Fender size with a Hipshot extender without a prob on my Warmoth P neck.

I've used HB2's, which have an even larger footprint(backside) than HB3's and they fit. The only issue you may find is that even thought the holes in the neck are meant for 11/16 tuners, you may have to open them a tiny bit with a Dremel/sanding drum to fit the bushings without forcing them excessively.
Don't force them or you may crack the headstock.

thank you for the insight...
