Hipshot 10mm open gear locking tuners

What hole size option would I go with on the headstock?

You would need to use the Schaller / Modern Fender / Sperzel (25/64" - 9.92mm) option.

I ordered a custom neck yesterday with 13/32" tuner holes, as the Hipshot website mentions this. My tuners (in the mail) are the Hipshot classic open tuners, non-locking. I panicked just now when I saw your post and called Warmoth. They seem to think that 13/32 is correct...I'm confused...

BTW, this is my first post.  I usually don't post on forums, as pretty much all the info is there, if one searches for it.
This will be my fourth Warmoth neck (2 pbass necks and a guitar neck).

Welcome to the forum.

13/32 is 26/64 versus 25/64 which is a difference of 1/64".

Neither of these measurements is 10mm as one is slightly under and one slightly over. Of the two I would rather have to ease the fit of a hole than end up with a hole possibly slightly loose.

At one point Schallers and Hipshots used two step holes with two different diameters but this is no longer the case and both use a straight bore.

Indeed! I changed to the 25/64". Thanks for the heads-up!

25/64 = .390in

I received the tuners and measured the part that fits through the headstock and they measure:

.385in to .387in

Thanks so much!  :hello2:

I get imperial measurements for the nut size and neck radius. But for Tuners it's not great, why not list the millimetre size too? It's way less confusing.

 

[stratamania]

Imperial versus metric is just one of those challenges of the guitar parts world. Or to make things more challenging a combination of the two. For example decimal applied to inches instead of having 1/2" becomes 0.5".

Strangely the US have defined Customary units with metric since the 19th century though for everyday use many things seem still to use imperial measurements.
