What type of headstock you got? 3 on a side or slant 6? Are the current tuners sealed ones? If so likely the larger holes that Gotoh and Grover fit into. If covered backs probably the vintage or Kluson style would fit. You can take one out and measure the hole too. I say if you are attached to it fix it up. Why not?

i think i will just take one off and measure... It's three on both. I dont really know any thing about tuners, this is the first time i really had to worry about them... i just thought grover because my bro's guitar has them and there amazing(compared to the playskool tuners on mine)mine are so horrible lol. Besides the overall cheapness of the guitar i think the tuners are by far the worst thing on the guitar. I love that damn thing. Hey i see you are like the dude that helps most peeps out.. really appreciate that. i do my best to pass own what i learn but haven a place to ask stupid questions is priceless so thx to TRGuitar and guitar noise.

Once you measure, you'll probably be assured that Grovers will do the job nicely, or Schaller's (but they have locator pins) or Sperzel, also with an extra locating pin, so it takes another little hole, that you have to drill shallow(ly).

So yeah, Stew Mac's website should have specs for all these tuners as well, they used to have meausurements listed.
