If it's 17.5 to 18mm it will fit the Wilkinson bushing (the circular thing that you fit in the hole before you fit the tuners). I just bought a set of these.and they fitted perfectly.[url="http://www.chguitars.co.uk/tuners/bass-4-in-line/no12-wilkinson-bass-guitar-tuners-891.html"]http://www.chguitars...tuners-891.html[/url] Edited September 9, 2013 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to drill holes where the screws go before you fit the tuners. Those particular wilkinson tuners are bigger than the ones on your squier as they're based on vintage 70s ones. So they cover the screw holes left by your old tuners and the back of your headstock will look quite neat and tidy once they're fitted.
