Are these the ones 3 from the bottom of the page?
Why are they staggered?

I've got some from a mexican tele going spare if you're interested?

I imagine they are staggered to you don't need a string tree, the tuners provide enough downward angle to avoid them.

Haha I would've been mate but I've just ordered some! >,,< Thanks anyway.
I also ordered a bloody string tree! That'll teach me not to be so eager.

Silly boy. In future you should wait on my input before buying anything ever again. Even groceries. I'll keep you right.

The string tree won't do any harm - Fender still use one on the American Standard, despite the staggered tuners.

(Does that mean you've now got the neck and tuners you were after, Indy?)
