Locking tuners for the Korean JTV-89

Does anybody here know of a locking tuner that has staggered height, work on the reverse headstock and fit the existing holes on the JTV-89 headstock?

 

It looks like I could use a Sperzel staggered if the main hole is the same size but I would have the screw hole exposed. Sperzels can be reversed to match the headstock.

 

I would also like the finish to be black nickel.

 

?

    Re: Locking tuners for the Korean JTV-89

    I've had good luck with the tuners from www.guitarfetish.com. I've replaced tuners on Gretsch (six on side) and Fender (in-line) headstocks  using their drop-in tuners which were under $30 for the set and are staggered and locking, making string changes a breeze. This is a change I'm thinking of doing to my '89.

     

    One thing I'm unsure of is the upside down headstock orientation on the JTV-89.  I dont know if the tuners would drop in the way they did with the others. I think I have a set of in-lines that I was going to use on a strat. I'll line them up and let you know if they fit.
