If you go with Sta-Tites, just make sure they are new new...  |
I ran a thread recently where I mentioned I bought new 18:1 Grover Rotomatics AND new Grover 18:1 Sta-tites for guitar projects.
The Rotomatics are disappointing but the Sta-Tites are excellent.
It's the older 14:1 Sta-Tites that have mixed reviews so look for the newer 18:1 ratio and yes, you'll need a set of 'reduction' bushes if you decide to use them and you will also need to drill a 2nd locating screw hole for each tuner.
