It's been a couple of weeks now and I'm still amazed, amused, dazed and confused! (Not really on the confused part... it just sounded good. 
There are times when I'm playing it I just bust out laughing. This thing sounds incredible. It makes me laugh at my mistakes and really lets me know what I need to work on!
I did pick up a set of locking tuners for it. The ratio a bit less than factory, but it's okay by me. What I like best is that I can clip the string and set the end flush with the tuning peg hole. No more skewered fingers! Not that it was a big problem, just a big pain when it happened.
The back of the head stock looks a bit messy, but who looks at that? I did take a magic marker and blacked out the bare wood rings left from the OE tuner screw holes.
It was a bit of a challenge to get the new tuners lined up properly. I had a couple of small straight edges left over from my days as a machinist, they helped emencely. I was able to line the pegs parallel to each other and perpendicular to the neck. Once lined up, just give it a good press for a starting point for the drill. I used an .080 drill for the boss on the back of the turners, it's diameter is .087 so it work out really well for a nice press fit.
