I took everything out last night and try-fitted again (I don't have immediate access to the parts where they're stored at the moment), and it's not really as bad as I remembered. I still don't know why they're as loose as they are, but it 's workable, they're not really flopping around in the...

Well, you seem to be saying that the old Grovers are smaller would be an even worse fit... which doesn't exactly explain why I asked for a headstock bored for Grovers, and got one that even the new ones are loose in. We've seen that StewMac highly favors 9.91mm in their diagrams for the shank...

This is weird... Warmoth's largest bore is for the Planet Waves, but the spec sheet on those tuners ( .pdf at planetwaves.com) shows the shank at 9.52 mm, even smaller. StewMac, predictably, shows the Planet Waves shank as 9.91mm, as it does almost all the others. None of this makes sense.

No, absolutely not, didn't mean to imply that. As I said, that whole guitar cost a lot less than this neck, it was a far-east import.

I deleted an expletive here, not sure what the standards of this board are in that regard. I mis-read the chart anyway, according to the StewMac specs, Schallers are not going to be any tighter, their specs are the same as Grover's... but Warmoth bores differently, tighter for the Schallers...

Not in this head, they aren't. Without torquing down the nuts, they're "drop in and watch them rattle around" bushings.

Yeah, that's it..  or as near as I can tell, anyway. If I torque down everything, yeah, I'm sure they're going to feel pretty solid. I'd still  rather they fit the holes snugly, though, so it wasn't just relying on nut tension to keep from shifting in there. And, 1/64" is plenty to make a ...

Hope somebody reads this section. I ordered a neck from Warmoth. Predictably, it's gorgeous, I'm very pleased with the neck itself. However, since I had a set of Grover tuners on the shelf, I asked for the headstock to be bored per their sites "Gotoh/Grover" selection. That seems to have...
