Problem is they don't fit. I thought they would be a 'drop-in' replacement but the screw arm is slightly longer the the old minis. I don't really want to drill new holes in the back of the headstock. Is there another locking machine head out there I can buy to replace my old Grovers? Do the Schaller or Planet Waves (or any others) fit without any alterations to the guitar itself?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance fuzz_zilla https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/grover-mini-locking-replacement/#post-44188
