Thanks.

Yes.
If you are putting in vintage style tuners:
1. Press the bushings in so the tuners will center in the holes
2. Cover the holes with painting tape (easy removal) and press through each hole with a ball point pen or other implement large enough to fill the hole
3. Place all tuners in the holes and line up with a straight edge.
4. Mark the first and last holes.
5. Use your straight edge and connect those marks making sure you bisect all holes evenly.
6. Place tuners back into holes and mark the position where tuner screw openings meet the bisecting line.
7. With a scratch awl or other pointed implement, mark each location.
8. Drill correct size holes through the tape
