For my Gibson es-335 which has Grover 102- tuners. Obviously I'll have to pre-drill the top hole. My question, will the bottom hole line up? Thx.

I installed the tuners on my acoustic guitar and I had to drilled the holes bigger. But now it's really easier to tune it up and plays and sounds much better.

Steve, the neck is thru, NOT bolted on. I bought this for my son, who is starting to play. As I have been playing for 30 years, I did not want a $300 guitar that wouldn't stay in tune, and a new guitar needs to be bought in a year. I am very happy with the purchase. It is a very good looking guitar, the quilted maple is nice. Quality hardware with Duncan pickups, and Grover tuners. The pickups having a push pull pot to switch to single coils is a nice bonus. You do get hum with the single coil, but that is not the guitar's fault. Action is low, feels good to play. Sounds good too. I feel like I got a good deal on this axe.

I'm not going to be much help to you here, because I don't really know if it's bolted or not. I see no evidence of that on the outside, as on an electric guitar. However, the neck connection on the Seagull looks the same as on my Taylor 612CSE. They both look glued to me. Sorry.

Fender uses a standard 10mm bore as do Schaller and Grover. As far as I know, a dual bore is a not a necessity but more of a nicety. I have interchanged Fender, Schaller, and Gotoh which is similar to Grover. If you really have doubts, talk to the guys at Stewart McDonald (stewmac.com).

Mine came out of the box with one knob higher but it turned out it had just popped off the tuning pot. I pushed it down and it popped back into place and I haven't had any issue since. Hopefully that is all the issue is for your unit.

You shouldn't have to drill a hole in your instrument. As to whether it will work with a "concert size" ukelele I don't know because I don't have one. Is your ukelele a small one or is it a tenor or baritone ukelele? If it's a small one this strap should work just fine as long as your ukelele has an strap pin at the bottom end like guitars have. You slip one end of this strap over that and if your ukelele has another strap pin put the other end over that. If you're using a small ukelele one end of the strap can wrap around the head-stock just above the nut so it won't interfere with the strings or the tuning machines.

Yes, but be aware that Baggs doesn't recommend or support amateur installs. I'd check two things - is there already an end-pin jack in the guitar and a hole the right size for the Baggs one? Is there already a hole under the saddle on the bass side for the piezo pickup? If either of these is not there, I'd get a professional to install because drilling holes in an expensive D-28 is scary. If the guitar already has a pickup (and these holes), then yeah you can do it yourself. Download the install guide from Baggs and if you're at all unsure after reading that, get a pro install done. BTW - this is a superb pickup esp when used with a Baggs DI. Yes, but be aware that Baggs doesn't recommend or support amateur installs.

That is the model I bought it for. It fits the headstock fine but the body cavity is a little larger than a Dinky. It's a bit loose and to feel safe, you might want to add some packing to fill the body cavity better

Standard "tru-hole" parts, such as a 555 integrated circuit or 1/4 watt resistor fit nicely. I took my electric guitar and used some of the strings to test hole size, and a 0.030 diameter string will go thru a circuit board hole. but 0.040 will not.

Question for the guitar mechanic: will the phillips work on the little tuning machine screw that goes into the back of the headstock? My current phillips bits are either 1) too large or 2) the smaller ones have points which are too LONG and strip out the female part of the screw. Thanx!

I had someone at my guitar shop install the Bigsby By Vibrato kit on my Les Paul copy. He drilled three small screw holes on the bottom of my guitar, and two small holes on the top. None of the holes are noticeable. But when he took the old bridge off, it left two 3/8" holes exposed. He used two matching silver bolts to fill the holes. It looks pretty good.

If you are talking about the hollowbody elitist, (cause looks like they make a les paul elitist) I would believe it should. It is made for a large hollow ES type body that is about an 2.5 inches in overall thickness. I have the Ibanez AS73 and it fits fine, with even a little bit of wiggle room. For that guitar, I am very happy with this product. So if your guitar is like my Ibanez, it's a good buy.

Not sure but most probably not. It all depends on the dimension of the hole, can you post the measurement of your guitar hole diameter ?

Yes, in fact most of the Gibsons I played over the years had Grovers installed. These new ones are simpler, stronger, and "lock" your tuning in.

I bought one for my squier VM J. I had to reshape it to get it to fit. no big deal I just straighten it out with my hands and then re-curled it around my fingers. I had to do it several times before I was satisfied. The only cravat I have is if you have the bass set for a high action or you dig in too much you may not have the clearance you need.

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)...

Alvarez guitars may have metric hardware installed, which means dimensions are different. These Grover tuners are standard dimension hardware which may not fit exactly and require some drilling or filling to make fit.
