Are they direct replacements for a 2011 American Special strat? I don't want to drill any new holes. Thanks

I used these in a 2011 American Standard Strat and they are a direct replacement. They have the two pins that line up with two holes in the headstock under the old tuners. No screws.

Yes they do. No drilling required. Pull tape tabs and install like OEM ones.

Amazon has the part finder tool that will tell you if it fits. I installed this on my 2010 myself. Holes are already drilled however the treads will be rusted. I used a stiff metal pipe brush and PB blast to remove the rust. You will need to drop the muffler to fit the hitch and access a bolt.

Howard, Compare the dimensions of the pads. If yours is larger than the potential replacement, I wouldn't buy it. If they are close with the new one slightly larger, you can probably trim the excess. It's matching the holes that matters, but it shouldn't be a big concern because you can probably punch holes through the thin metal plate to match yours. To me, it's worth a shot. Al

I have a Squier Strat and it does not really fit. I don't know which one would

Can't help you, man.. I guess it'd be easier to built your own replacement piece, or to buy a hole set again...

You won't need to drill holes in your guitar if you also get the Vibramate V7-LP. Here's a link to the product: Vibramate V7-LP Les Paul Adaptor Mounting Kit, For Bigsby B7, Aluminum

Assuming your guitar has a strap pin on the side. There are adapter kits which will take the 1/4" connector from the pickup, extend it, and replace the strap pin with a jack. All you would need to do is unscrew/replace the factory pin. No drilling. Obviously, if you intend to use the guitar standing up, that might pose a problem.

They assume you only want the trem. That you have everything else. There is no mention of the other parts in the list of contents so I expected only the trem. The alloys are not good and you will experience string breakage. I did. I gig and suffered strings breaking on those new saddles so I can not recommend the Mexican saddles because of that. Look on line and spend the money for the American saddles and or the other custom makers.

Direct replacement, no drilling. Comes with legit directions too. Took me about 45 mins to install.

I installed on my 1976 Gibson SG and did not drill. I took off the old button & I may have even just used the new button and the old screw just for the back of the neck (can't remember). Try that first and if it doesn't work, use the new (Dunlop) screw for the back of the neck. The new screw/button was just fine for the tail end of the guitar. Always use a screw driver (the proper size so you don't strip the screw) and soap the screw threads (rub the screw threads on a bar of soap) and it goes in easy. Hope this works for you!

I bought it to fit a Squier. It will not fit an American Strat. I believe it will fit an MIM also. It's too narrow to fit an MIA Strat.

Grovers are the original ones....why would you want to change them?? And if there's something wrong with them, why don't you just put some new ones instead of drilling other holes (my humble suggestion)...

I don't know, Luis. The guitar I mean to put them into is a Les Paul copy (no name on the headstock) that I picked up many years ago at a pawn shop. I've still yet to get around to installing them. I'm sorry to be of no help to you.

I have a 2009 Telecaster American Standard with the old style bridge. It is a perfect fit and looks awesome. That combined with my killer pickguard turned a very ugly guitar into a looker. My Strats still look better but this really didi it

I replaced my Gibson SG Custom tuners with no problem. They tune better and weigh more to give you more sustain. I also added an American made Bigsby to add even more weight. Sounds perfect with the original 490 pickups.

Its a Strat. Sometimes both have similarly wound single coil pickups but the nody shape etc hete id a Strat.
