I am shaping and thicknessing a new neck/peghead and don't have the Grover Sta-Tites I'll be using on hand. See below. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tuners/Guit ... ?tab=Specs Searched all over and found nothing definitive. Anyone else use these? What thickness should I shoot for with the Peg head? Thanks |

I did 16mm on my last one (with Sta-Tite tuners) and there is *juuust* enough room to not cause any problems. Edited to fix incorrect measurement. |

I managed to get mine onto a 16mm peg head, or just under 5/8". I think anywhere between 1/2" and 5/8" and you're good |

You could measure the distance from the centre of the string hole to the peghead face on a guitar you like (and that has enough space for the appropriate number of winds on the E string) and then subtract that from the string post height of the Sta-Tite... Got to take the bushing into account too, of course. Just a newbie trying to contribute, please correct me when I'm wrong. |

My apologies, I just measured it and mine is 16mm too, not 14mm. I wouldn't go any thicker. The bushing is about 2mm, the string post to string height is 21.21mm, so a 16mm peghead gives you 3mm for string winds and a 15mm gives you 4mm, etc. |
