Where do I find non-locking staggered tuners - very particular

I would prefer Sperzels or Schallers simply due to they are replacing Sperzels.  The drilled location for the pin could be reused with Sperzels and covered and redrilled for Fender Schaller varieties.  I'm also stuck with 13/32" tuner ream.  The hitch is I need lefties.  With Sperzels, they are easily changed to accommodate either orientation, but I'm having no luck finding staggered non-locking Sperzels in the color I need. 

I just need a non-locking version of what I have, or a set of Fender Schallers.  I gave the locking thing a go, and don't like it.  I never break strings, and have broken 3, all at the locking mechanism, and 2 just while just installing and tuning.  What's wierd too, all 3 were different strings.  Low E, A, and now D.  I also haven't found these things to be a tremendous time saver either. 
 
Contacting Sperzel directly may be the best bet. I'm sure you Googled up and down the net, as I just did, and came up dry.....as I just did.

Hipshot makes them. What color are you looking for?

I looked at the Hipshot stuff, unless there's something I didn't see, they won't reuse or cover the existing set pin holes of the Sperzels.  I'm not just looking for staggered non-locking tuners.  I'm looking to avoid drilling a new hole and leaving the old ones exposed.

Sounds like you need a new neck to go with those new tuners.  :icon_thumright:

I don't know.  :laughing3:

But...I have to be the first one to say something negative about Sperzel lockers unless the Fender logo police have those comments deleted too.  :dontknow:
