Here's what I would do. I'd return the $300 Sloans, made by Stewmac's subsidiary. I'd buy the guitar from a different guitar manufacturer.

It is not difficult to determine if one brand is dimensionally interchangeable with another. On Stewmac's website, they provide dimensions for the Sloan tuners. http://www.stewmac.com/Hardware_and_...aseplates.html

One need only compare the relevant dimensions to a similar drawing for the other options that are offered (e.g. from Martin). I have no doubt that similar drawings exist for each of the other options. That shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Neither company is willing to put in the effort to answer your relatively simple question. I'd take my business elsewhere for both.
