Replacement "Vintage"tuning pegs for modern size holes

[Devil Musick]

Hey guys. I just recently got a Squier P bass to finally see what all the "P" hub bub was about. Well I see now!! Love the tone!! Unfortunately, it has the more modern tuning pegs, which I think look silly on the head stock. It has smaller holes in the pegboard as well, any one know of a company that makes the vintage style tuners that will fit the smaller diameter holes of the modern ones?? Does this even make sense? HA HA

Couldn't you just make the holes bigger?

 

[Devil Musick]

yeah, well... Me and Power tools don't get along that well if you know what I mean...

Hipshot should do what you require. A set of ultralites would possibly be a good idea so that the extra mass doesn't make it neck heavy.

A good way to make the holes bigger without power tools is to use a tapered reamer. The taper makes sure the reaming is centered and it just needs a bit of elbow grease - you have to work from both sides & the plate at the back & the washer at the front covers the little bit extra that's cut out.
