Is there a standard size for tuners/machine heads or does it vary? I just ordered mine from back porch mojo and was wondering what size hole to drill in preparation for it.
Thanks in advance!

I usually drill them out 5/16 and wallow the hole out just a bit to get the bushings/ferrules to fit properly...just make sure they're good and tight...(the bushings, that is)...a half inch depth on the headstock is good while I'm thinking about it too...good luck dude

Ah - this sounds like a plan!

Most of the major brand tuners come in one of two sizes. Either 5/16" or 10mm(13/32"). If in doubt drill the smaller hole(5/16") first. That way you can always enlarge it to 10mm if you have to.
