Thanks for the replies guys.
I have no complaints about the stock tuners as far as keeping the guitar in tune goes. And I'm not really trying to turn a Standard into something that it's not (vintage). I guess I'm just a fan of vintage style tuners, specifically the split shaft design. I like the way the vintage style Gotohs feel. Something about the stock tuners just aesthetically turn me off. The shape of the keys, the screw in bushing and the square housing with no mounting screws. I've got a CS '69 Strat and I've even grown accustomed to the goofy F tuners. Just not these things...
I'm going to drill the bridge plate out for three barrel saddles as well at some point. Don't get me wrong, it's a great guitar stock as is, but I'm a tweaker...what do you want?
I've played it stock for long enough and I want to try some things with it now thati know I'm defintely going to keep it.
