Default Eastman E 10/20 00/P Tuner Upgrade

I just bought a Eastman E10 00, which I like a lot aside from the tuners. The Ping open gear tuners are ok but I'm after something with a higher ratio.

Has anyone upgraded the tuners on their Eastman slotted headstock guitar? If so what tuners did you use?

I've been thinking of going for Schaller Grand Tunes, details of which can be found from the link that follows

Would they fit my guitar?

Did you order any new tuners? I have an e10 00 and was thinking about new tuners.

On my E20SS, I installed a set of Grover Sta-Tite 18:1 tuners. Fit like a glove. Mine came with Gotoh vintage type 16:1, but I like the Grovers just a bit more, and they are affordable. Hope this is helpful.

Oops! Sorry, you said slotted headstock. ..well, the Grovers come in that style too.

These looked real good on my parlour e10 but you have to drill new screw holes - minor work.
