I’ll say this first, great company to deal with I had an issue with the order and it was taken care of immediately.
I’ve hot rodded an Asian squire and as you all probably know the tuners are garbage. I did have to drill the holes larger. While I was intonating the high E, a 10 gauge it broke at the tuner. OK it happens, this morning while setting the hight it broke again. Upon closer examination the string hole was jagged, hard to see as they are black but I dragged a fingernail over it and a good shaving came off. It turns out they are all sharp at the sting hole and haven’t been counter sunk. I’ve tossed the Squire ones but I believe they were smooth. For the price this should have been done. I will be a difficult fix without marring the finish. As I have drilled the holes larger It will be a redo of the head with epoxy, not worth it.
