Godot,
I went through this a couple of years ago. From another old thread:

So, I got the conversion bushings for my Am Std from Guitar Parts Resource and they fit the Gotoh staggered tuners just fine. I had to give the holes in the headstock a little help with a step-bit so I could get the bushings in and they went in fine. I used a #53 (slightly bigger than 1.5mm, smaller than 1/16) drill bit for the screw holes and, miraculously, I didn't screw it up.

This was (is) a '99 Am Std. neck and I put Gotoh staggered vintage tuners on it. The bushings I got from Guitar Parts Resource are:
tem Name: ADAPTER TYPE NICKEL PRESS IN TUNER BUSHINGS (6)
Item Number: TK 0900-001
Worked perfectly for me. I'd previously tried some from guitarfetish and the ID was too small for the Gotoh tuner posts.
