Does anybody know? Fender tuners and pans...

Post by Dan Campbell »

Does anybody know the exact size of the pocket Fender bores out in order to insert their pans and tuners? Height, depth, width??? Dan

Can anyone tell me the vertical and horizontal measurements on your Fender -- even if you don't know the depth. Absolute numbers are not important right now. Thanks Dan

Hi Dan, I measured the cavity in my stringmaster and it measured 2 7/8" on the small end, and 3 1/4" on the wide end next to the tuning nut. The cavity was 3/4" deep on the small end, and 1" deep next to the tuning nut. The cavity hole was 4 1/8" long. Hope this helps. Tommy

The 1951 T-8 I have measures 3 7/8" long, and 2 1/2" wide. The depth varies from 1" at the nut end to 3/4" at the end. I recently took the tuner pans off and put them on an earlier body, and had to remove some wood to make them fit.
