Changing Machine Heads on Fender Strat?

[grburgess]

It is possible to change the machine heads on the American Fender Strat Std to the locking machine heads of the American Fender Strat Deluxe?

They should drop right into the existing holes on the neck with no problems.

+1. I did just that with my old strat. If using the fender brand, they drop in. If they are staggered, pay attention to the post heights, ensuring they are in the proper order. Other than that, all you need is a socket wrench. Good luck.
