Sperzel tuner holes

[sghokie]

If I choose the sperzel sized holes, do they also drill for the peg?

No

StewMac make a jig for that. It’s not cheap, but if you plan to make several guitars it might be worth it.

I've got that jig and I can vouch for it: it works great.

Good to hear, cuz I just forked out $50 for it! Tried my first guitar without it and was not satisfied with how straight i was able to get everything.

Sperzels are ok, but there are many alternatives these days.  I'm curious why people would have a preference for Sperzel.

I must admit that after trying a set, I'll probably stick with Gotoh or hipshot in the future.

I have two of those jigs. Which means I can line them up with each other to make alignment even more certain. I have not used them for Sperzels but they will also do Schaller and Fender two pins etc.
