Sperzel makes really nice locking tuners, but you may have to drill a larger hole to fit them.

There aren't any locking tuners that I know of that use that 2 screw mounting method.

I don't think you'll be destroying anything. We're talking about millimeters of difference, here.

Plus, if you're having a tech install them he should be able to cover up any unused screw holes.

The new gearless Steinberger 40:1 gearless tuners look AMAZING, but are serious cake ... from : localhost/www.stewmac.com/shop/Tuners/G...ss_Tuners.html

I actually don't like the way those look, but it's a very cool idea.

40:1 means you have to turn the tuning portion 40x for the post to go around once ...

Sperzel's use a small post to anchor into the neck.
It is always best to dowel and redrill the holes,If the tuning keys seat crookedly then it can make tuning a pain,as well as looking like crap.

Hummmmm
CRAP
