The holes are 6.5mm. Small. I have left then small for now. I can drill them to any size if you give me the measurements.
The spacing for F tuners should be the same as Klusons.

Thinking about building a second xii. One will definitely be sunburst. Should I use the vintage dot neck with the sunburst body or the block and binding with the sunburst body? Decisions decisions. I'm thinking the vintage one but the b&b one would match my maverick then.

I always wondered if this was possible!
Is the heel the same width as a Fender XII?
