Waverly for Gotoh Swap

[curiousdave84]

I have read through the archives and am unable to find a definitive answer regarding this.

It appears that if you swap Gotoh MF40r for Waverlies, everything seems to line up except for the bottom screw hole for mouting the tuners. Looks like it may need a plug and redrill.

Can anyone confirm that has done the swap? Looks like the last 2 screw holes are 26.2mm apart on gotoh (lowest 2 holes) and 23.13mm apart on waverly. Maybe it is splitting hairs here since 3 mm is not very much, but I know waveriles like to be aligned just right.

Thanks

I went from Gibson Grover's to Waverly tuners so I can't speak directly to the Gotoh's. You'll probably have to fill and re-drill a screw hole or two. If you haven't seen it I documented the switch here:

Hopefully the screw holes that need to be filled will be covered by the tuner plates.
