Upgrade Tuners for Fender Squier Guitar
I posted this in the 'gear' but got a tip from MagicalLawnChair that this might be a better place to get some suggestions... so I'm looking for recommendations for tuner upgrades for my Fender Squier (built in the early 90's Korean made). I want some tuners that I can drop in and don't want to mess around with making the holes larger or anything like that. Does such a thing exist?! I like the guitar itself (of course it could be better) but I feel that the current stock tuners are the weakest link. I get tired of tuning it before every take of a song. Thanks for any recommendations!

I'm not sure if you'll need the mini's or the normal rotomatics though, sorry.

Re: Upgrade Tuners for Fender Squier Guitar
If you do have to increase the hole size (which I think you will have to with regular Grovers), use a reamer not a drill. If you drill it, chances are you'll split the wood and your neck will be toast.
I second Grovers.
Gotohs are a bit cheaper and quite good too though.

Fantastic! Thanks for your advice. I'll be sure to use a reamer if I have to.
