Hipshot ultra lite comes in 2 sizes, does anyone know what to use on Squier's Affinity J Bass?

11/16

The larger of the two, probably called 1/2" (even though they do require an 11/16" hole).

sorry yes, 1/2" is correct.

that means Squier's have 11/16 peg holes? or should I make holes bigger?

not all Squiers have 1/2 holes..

measure the holes in your headstock before ordering..

any tips for measuring the pegholes?

Best way to measure it is to reveal it as much as possible. Remove the string, the nut and the bushing and see if you can measure it. If not, take the whole thing off and measure across the hole...

Just remove the bushing and measure it.
