I took a drill to my Les Paul tonight!

I would use Graph Tech tuners just because they fit the stock holes, no drilling.
But I have enlarged plenty of headstock holes for tuners in days gone by.
I'm just afraid that the headstock can crack with a power drill so I use a hand reamer.

Is that a 2018 BFG that you are working on there ?

Yes sir!
Swapped all hardware out for black, I settled on a "blackened" Black Winter bridge pickup. She's becoming my favorite player these days.

Probably a question you have answered many times.

Where did you get the
Headstock Skull?
Custom made for you or did you get the guitar with it already there?

Actually, I haven't even been asked yet!
I got the idea of putting a small skull decal on my truss rod cover because I couldn't find a truss cover I liked enough......
So I scoured ebay and bought a handful of small skulls that may or may not work.
I liked this one, but it didn't fit the truss rod cover so I just stuck it on the headstock and there it lives
That's where I got it. eBay.
