What bore do these tuners require? Is it a dual bore like Schaller and Grover use?

The Fender guitars I installed these on had the dual bore already on the neck. There are notches on the top of the machine that fit into the holes bored. There's no screw to hold the machine in place like on a Grover or Schaller. As far as I know, no other locking machine has this feature. If you're playing a Fender that already has the bores in place, it's easy to install. If not, drilling the bores would require some VERY precise drilling. If it were me, and the neck didn't have bores, I'd opt for Grovers or Sperzels. Each of these machines requires only one hole be bored. The bore for a Sperzel is like the dual bore for the Fender - the hole is at the top of the machine and the peg sits in it, providing side-to-side support. Sperzels have the familiar thumbwheel locking mechanism. I think you can still get Grovers with thumbwheels but Grover also makes a newer line that makes use of a cam that locks onto the string as you pull it taut. It takes some getting used to but it works fine and is cheaper than Sperzels. I have never seen a dual bore for a Grover locking tuner. Just the one little screw is all. Same with Sperzels, just the one bore for the peg to sit in. Fenders, to my experience, are the only locking tuners with dual bores.

Fender uses a standard 10mm bore as do Schaller and Grover. As far as I know, a dual bore is a not a necessity but more of a nicety. I have interchanged Fender, Schaller, and Gotoh which is similar to Grover. If you really have doubts, talk to the guys at Stewart McDonald (stewmac.com).

They fit my Fender mim stratocaster perfectly ..Fender 9-42 nickel strings stay in tune and last a long time with these tuners.

Straight thru bore, drill 9.75mm,,,, obtain a tapered reamer if can, Stewmac sales them . Use for fine adjust until tuners slide in with ease, ream from back of head stock. be careful , reamers are sharp and it takes a very light touch , they can remove a lot of material if too aggressive. test bore and ream on a scrap piece first, hope this helps. And these locking tuners are top quality. These tuners do have a small locating tab to hold straight. very nice feature. I mark them for exact location and use a small center punch to indent for tab. use a straight edge to align at bottom of tuners, they will turn out perfectly aligned.

I have my original 1972 Les Paul which has the kluson 2 screws for each machine head. The EPI usually followed suit. This grover 102c is what I put on my old Martin acoustics and simalar guitars. I would not use these.

I looked briefly at a picture of the Ibanez AS73 Artcore, and it appears the tuners look nearly exactly alike. I have no reason to believe they would not work.

Not true. I have these on my schecter blackjack s-1 and they work great! Hold tune perfect. Had them over 6 months, no problems

no, they will only fit a Gibson or PRS style headstock with 3 per side, Grover should make a "mini" rotomatic (those will fit 6 on one side you find on Fender headstocks)

Not sure, suggest contacting Bully Dog. However, Bully Dog changed up their manufacturer specific tuners late 2013 and into 2014 and their universal tuner WatchDog Multi-function Gauge (40400) will work.

Yes, in fact most of the Gibsons I played over the years had Grovers installed. These new ones are simpler, stronger, and "lock" your tuning in.

I'm not familiar with your guitar. I've put Grovers on a variety of guitars and some times they fit and sometimes need to ream hole a bit and may have to plug old screw holes

Yes, you'll have to get a tuner and I recommend an air filter. I have the Vance and Hines dual headers and the slip ons. The sound is better than a lot of slip ons but do yourself a favor and get a tuner and air filter or avoid these pipes. I'm barely happy with them, I think they sound mediocre and I've been riding for 20 plus years. They LOOK sharp though!

Hey RayIt will run out of box.Every Edelbrock carborator comes with a CD to show you how to fine tune it.The 1409 is a 600 cfm four barrel square bore so if you have the same in automotive you will be fine.Hope that helps�

it's a good possibility that they will fit. according to specs found on stewmac.com; full sized grover rotomatic tuning machines have a shaft outer diameter of 9.91mm, while the planet waves auto-trim locking tuners have a measured OD of 9.81mm. I had to capture the dimension with calipers, as the specs aren't as easily obtained online. so if your hellraiser had full sized grover rotomatic tuners, then the planet waves tuners should fit. although, the anchor screws may not line up directly. in which case you may need to dowel/glue and re-drill for an exact fit. apologies for my delayed response. it's a good possibility that they will fit. according to specs found on stewmac.com; full sized grover rotomatic tuning machines have a shaft outer diameter of 9.91mm, while the planet waves auto-trim locking tuners have a measured OD of 9.81mm.

They use CR 2032, about the size of a quarter. Mine lasts about a month or more of daily use, but I turn it off when done tuning

Hello Itsvan. You can try contact Sperzel to see if they will direct sell them individually. We do not sell, nor could I find on the Internet, a set of tuners specifically for an 8 string. I would try calling Sperzal, they have great tuners AND American made! They mave have a solution for you. They can be reached at 216-281-6868.

Yes. Snark has a wide range of tuners to check out. Check their web site. Or you can check them out through the Amazon site.

This was a gift for my brother so I asked him - here's his reply: It kind of has a tuner, but the tuner is not compatible with the tuning system that started in 2009. Hope that helps!

I have no idea. I play it right out of the box. No mods at all and I have had nothing but positive feedback from folks I have gigged with. I did put an Ibanez delay pedal on the input and a speaker motor on the output because I crank the volume to full, set the tone to one quarter, and use the speaker motor to attenuate the output to the speaker. It's a great little amp, lots of tone, lots of Chicago crunch. Enjoy!
