Pictured below is the guitar headstock with pre-drilled tuner holes.
Close inspection shows 3 of the 6 tuners have longer tuning pegs than the others. These are for the 3 thicker wound strings and must be placed in the correct position. Also note the small peg on the base of the tuner on the right. There are 2 of these pegs, even though you can't see the other one here in the picture. These help hold the tuner in place and holes will have to be properly drilled for them.
Place all tuners in their proper holes. The tuners with the longer tuning pegs occupy the bottom 3 holes. I loosely tightened the nuts allowing the tuners to rotate within their holes. I pushed the straight edge of the packaging to aline the tuners with each other. (a clever trick I learned from researching the installation of these tuners).
Next I pushed down hard on each tuner so that the pegs would leave a slight indentation. (seen here)
I use these indentations to drill holes for the pegs.
With the holes drilled the tuners go into place and then I tighten down the nuts. That's it. The results look great.
