This tuner is meant for a classical guitar where it mounts through the side of the head and the peg goes into a slot in the head.
I thought I read on cbgitty that you could do something like this if you just used bushings. But I can't find that info now.
I would be using it on a slanted head. Look at attachments.

yup alot of folks do this type of thing

I don't want the shafts to go through the side. I want them to go through the front to back.
ah .
i don't know if the spacing would be right.
i'd advise you just get regular enclosed back mount tuners .
they are more "forgiving" than most open tuners regardless .
Can you please explain "forgiving' in what regard.
enclosed tuners are less prone to stripping than most open tuners .
and will allow for less than perfectly straight drilled holes and angles etc . in general .
altho . open tuners can usually be fine when installed properly and with proper equipment etc .
I think I seen them with 2 sets of holes. One one the end I think. I guess I could redrill the hole if I had to couldn't I.
I got to thinking about it. I wonder if the distance to the center of the shaft from the edge of the mounting plate is any different.
I did this comparison. The difference is where the string attaches to the shaft. Read the specs.
BTW. One of these would be proper. But I don't like that one. The one I like is the wrong style. I'm off to see if I can find one with the hole in the end.
Hi Calvin
I think you will find that the tuners you show are for a steel string guitar with a slotted peghead, as the shafts are steel. Classical tuners have a plastic shaft and these will crack through in time from the extra tension of steel strings.
