So I have been thinking lately and will just jump straight to the question,

Has anyone ever tried different tuners in the tuner holes that Warmoth Provides? I am just wondering if there are more options out there, like if more than just the one set of Gotoh tuners will fit in the holes they drill labeled gotoh/grover.
 
I used these Gotoh 3-left, 3-right tuners from stewmac on my neck:

I had th neck drilled for the Planet Waves tuner holes (13/32") and they fit just fine. I just had to sand out some of the finish in the tuner holes and then everything went smoothly.
 
There are hundreds of different tuners out there.  Many with common dimension and many others with slight variations.  This is why Warmoth publishes the dimensions they rout for... so you can compare the tuner reams with the dimensions with the tuners you want to use.
 
A while back I tried to make sense of the sizes of tuner holes and had some success and have put a link to that post below. To answer your question I installed import locking tuners (From GFS) that called out for a 10mm tuner hole. On the advice of Warmoth I had the headstock drilled for Schaller and the tuners fit great.
