Default Switching tuners

The bottom screw holes from the white button tuners should match the spot for the Grovers. You'll still have the area above each Grover tuner showing the hole and a bit of the footprint from the previous tuners.
Before you do this, a caution...just my opinion , but with Grover tuners I've seen a Gibson acoustic headstock snap just from being knocked over on its back from standing on its side in the case. I have since avoided any type of heavy tuners and have had mine switched to the lighter white button klusen-style tuners.
If you notice now many of the "newer" Martins (and other guitars) are equipped with the nice LIGHT open back tuners....there's wisdom there IMHO.
