Hey dudes. I just got a set of Sperzel tuners off of Kac, but he didn't include any mounting hardware. When you buy a set of Sperzels, isn't mounting hardware included? These tuners don't use the same hardware as the regular strat-style tuners on my Reverend. If this hardware is not included with Sperzels, how do you go about finding it? Do most hardware stores stock what I need to mount these tuners, or are they a specialty item that I can only get from Sperzel?

there's no additional hardware

the package comes with a cardboard quot;templatequot; that didn't work all that well for me

basically, you need to drill a pilot hole for the pin that holds it in place

There's 2 washers and a special hex nut, is there not? I didn't recieve these, and on many advertisements for Sperzels, it is mentioned that these are included.

For example, when you buy Sperzels from MF, you get this:

Need less to say, the mounting is pretty much the same. The special hex nut you mention should screw off of the string post, you then can place the tuner in the proper hole (they should be marked I, II, III etc), place the washers and the special hex nut on and you should be done (you'll have to drill a pilot hole for the small stud on the tuner (schallers have 2). Look for the markings for the number of the tuner as it will determine if you have the right tuner for the right size string. They are a pain the a$$ to install, but once they are in, it's cake.

Good luck

You have everything there, just drill the pilot holes and you're on your way to having a stay in tune guitar.

Yes, I realize that the picture includes everything I need, but everything I need was not sent with these tuners. The bushing from the stock tuner is different from the one that is shown in that picture I posted.

Have you tried call MF and see if they will replace them for you??

he bought em from kac

Doubtful that you'll be able to find the screw-in-bushing in a hardware store...I'd say try contacting sperzel.

I live in Canada. MF doesn't deal to here, so I am not going to call them. I am going to go poke around my local guitar shop tomorrow and see if they've got what I need.
