TeleStrat dubious record attempt

[McCreed]

Hey fender3x.
The single tuner in the photo you posted is from a 3 x 3 set. It has the full "ears" and is fixed with 2 screws per tuner.
The ones you have are made to interlock using 1 screw between each tuner like king casey's pic.

Warmoth is generally very good with their products (even in the 80's) but it would be worth measuring the tuner hole centres just to be sure. If they're mis-spaced, it may require some plugging and re-drilling to get a good equal fit. If it were me, I wouldn't trim the tuner/s.

I used a set of Gotoh Kluson-style tuners on my PBG TL kit, but had the opposite issue. The holes were too far apart. I ended up fashioning small "washers" to bridge the gap between the tuners.for the fixing screws. Not my best solution, but it worked. Good tuners though.

Just for fun, I've posted one of my Strato-Tele below.

Did an initial setup. The serrated feeler gauges work to make the nut slots, but are slow. Took me two days working a little at a time. Still need to sand down the top of the nut, polish and glue it. That said the guitar is playable and I could not resist the pic.

Couldn't resist taking a pic, tho. I had purchased the paint before seeing the "Stato Tele". I got the case for it in 1987. So the similarities are coincidental, if striking
