I couldn't find a counterbore that really seemed to fit those bushings Todd so I have been using the replacement Waverly bushings from StewMac for the Grovers as the shaft fits just fine. I like the way they look a little better anyway. Let us know what you find out.

the latest sets of V97's have a larger bushing than either spec or what was being provided with earlier sets, and the difference is enough to split a headstock or faceplate if you force it.

Yep. My aha moment was at midnight on a Friday night when I had 9 guitars to do complete setups on for this hard deadline on Sunday. http://lbs.mtbaker.us/index.php?option= ... Itemid=122

Nothing like an extra hour of hair pulling when you're already sleep deprived and up against the wall.

Looked like the plating may have been extra thick on this batch.
