Hi all! This is my first post on these forums.
I bought my first ukulele about a month ago, an Ohana SK-39. I really love it but I'm contemplating upgrading the friction tuners from the entry level Gotoh fricton tuners (model UKB) to the deluxe ones (model UKA). I've found the friction tuners I have pretty good, but they do stick a bit which makes precise tuning a bit fiddly.
Looking in the Gotoh catalogue, it seems the posts for the deluxe tuners are very slightly wider in diameter than the entry level ones. Or at least I think that's what the diagram in the catalogue below is telling me.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience changing the pegs on an Ohana SK-39, and could tell me whether the new pegs will fit into the existing holes, or if I'll need to make them a bit larger? I haven't been able to find information anywhere about the diameter of the holes in the headstock.
A link to the Gotoh catalogue - the diagram is on page 15:

Thanks so much!
