Hey guys, very new to the forum - great to be here. So ... like a lot of people I picked up my first Les Paul for a very good price (online - sight unseen). It is a 2015 Junior, TV yellow and it looks delicious. I simply couldn't pass it up the price I got it for. Unfortunately for me, I didn't really do my homework on the new models and when I pulled it out of the case I got quite a shock when I noticed it had a transformer robot-like tuner set up bolted onto the neck. "What the hell is this ugly piece of sh**??!!!" I asked.. straight to google I go.. To my delight, 90% of people hate them as well and are changing them out. Now I should add that I have never really played around with changing guitar parts etc before so I am a little reluctant to go drilling holes etc hence the reason I am here.
I have found some Kluson tuners that I want to install but I can't seem to find the information I am after to whether they will fit or not. This is them here -

What I can't seem to find is the hole diameter of my guitar neck... the description of the tuners says that they require a 8.75mm hole.. Does this sound right? Also would this, '3 on a plate' style fit into my neck ok?
I know this topic has most likely been covered already but I couldn't seem to find it. So apologies if I am covering something that has been brought up previously.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Trav
