Not all Grovers are created equal.. Go with the Gotohs. Great, solid tuners. Be sure to drill the holes big enough and deep enough (don't go through the face of the headstock), lubricate each screw with a drop of soap before you install it, and the screws work just fine. If it feels the least bit tight, stop- back it out, redrill your hole, and reinstall. DO NOT FORCE IT AT ALL. Sure beats trying to drill out a broken screw. The right size drill for those Gotoh screws is 5/64".
