Schaller to Sperzel, do they fit?

[tone?]

Would having tuner holes on a neck made for schallers work for sperzels and vise versa?

Most modern tuners are 10mm so they would be fine.

Keep in mind the two brands will likely use different set pin configurations, so you still might need to do some minor drilling.

Strictly speaking they are not. The Schallers are 10mm. The Sperzels are 13/32" IIRC which is 10.32mm.

In practice it'll work fine but yes, you enjoy the imperial system and fraction madness at it's best.

Weren't the Sperzel made to be a direct retrofit for the Schaller-type Fender tuners found in Strats, pins and all?

Are Schallers different?

Yes but that doesn't change the fact that as an American company they felt obligated to use the *(@&(@^@ imperial system with (*&@()*@&@() fractions.

If they are actually manufactured in the US then they wouldn't find anybody to make 10mm anything.

I don't think those 0.3mm will make a big difference, of course.
