Fender Jazz MIM 2020 replacement tuners

[ingmar808]

Can anyone recommend an exact brand/model of tuners that will fit as 1:1 replacements, without the need to drill new screw holes? I have acquired a Jazz neck (Made in Mexico 2020) that already has two sets of holes in the headstock rear, and I don't want to add to the butchery. Obvs Fender brand should work, but I'm wondering about alternatives like Gotoh which might be better, cheaper etc. Classic look, but as light as possible, preferred. TIA for any help...

BUMP! Surely someone has successfully replaced the tuners on a MIM Jazz? Or is this question just too boring to answer?  😀

Not boring but surprisingly perplexing once you start looking into it - so many different sizes and specs to consider.

 

I replaced the tuners on my MIM Player bass with Gotoh Resolite GB640. Not cheap but made of duralumin, so much lighter, vintage style with long shaft and with a large backplate which will probably cover any existing holes you may have.
