What are you guys using for string spacings for Schaller mini's (3L / 3R).

I am building a guitar for a guy and he wanted me to change the headstock a little and now my tuners are too big. I ordered a set of Schaller mini's which I am pretty sure will work ok, but I am trying to lay out this headstock.

I am just trying to think ahead while I am waiting on the postman....

Brock I believe .88 center to center is absolute min. with m6-mini's. That would be touching tuner to tuner If I was trying to keep every thing compressed as much as possible I would use .9375 ot 1.00 hope this helpsMichaelP38516.4495138889

Great. Thanks. These are going to work fine then.

I originally had these lined up for Waverly's (which are about as big as you can get. So these mini's should be perfect and not feel too cramped.
