Installing vintage gotohs on a tele

[blakejcan]

super silly question here.

I bought a neck with no tuners. It previously had vintage gotohs so I am just going to put a new set right back on.

Got the box of tuners yesterday. For some reason it has 2 sets of bushings? This normal?

One set bushings pushes in nice and tight and when the tuner is pushed in as well it looks correct.

The other set of bushings is slightly shorter and fatter and does not push in at all.

Do they all just come with 2 sets of bushings? Or am I totally blowing it?

Thats all there is to it. Or at least I did the same exact thing you did. I hope I don't need my otger set of bushings... either way the string hold and the tuning holds so I guess we're good

As you can imagine (or perhaps logically work out - if not visually see), if one set is not working in the hole you have and the other is, then they are 2 different sizes. The same logic would surely dictate that these second set are for different sized holes. It then wouldn't take very much further thought to see that the second set allows for flexibility of the purchaser to install said tuners into more headstocks without further purchases.

I trust it is now clear Watson
