Kenneth..Replaced the Grovers in my SKH with Sperzels as well and thought that I would pass along a couple of tips to help you avoid the pitfalls that I encountered...1) Make certain that the tuners that you acquire are equipped with the shorter threaded barrels (these secure the tuners to the keyhead). The longer versions intended for six string guitar will not tighten enough to properly fasten the keys. If not, they are obtainable from Sperzel(they even allowed me to exchange the originals for the shorter set, great customer service) You will also need to have two tuners with shorter posts for strings #5&6...2) The anchoring pins on Sperzel tuners will not line up with the holes in your keyhead and are also too thick. They are however not integrated into the tuners and are easily removable with a pair of needle nose pliers...Hope that you find this information helpful.
