I got my gotoh slot head tuners and a bunch of bushings....but no info on installing them.
So do the bushings go on the inside of the slot or the outside by the gear??
If they go on the inside...how do you install them?

I dont now anyone that uses them .. I think they are to go on the inside (middle) of the headstock, but I dont think I have ever seen a guitar with bushings lately.

I dont see the point, because to instlal them, you need to make the first hole larger, kind of defeatingthe purpose - now that hole will be very sloppy, and you rely on just the tuner plate and screws to stop the tuner from pulling forward .. jsut dont bother with them and you will be fine (waverlies dont have them either, so ...)
