My input. 🤔
So my 2002 streamer let go of a machine head... Nearly 22yrs old. Fair enough I thought so I bought these instead of a direct warwick replacement.
Daaaaamn are these things top dollar!!
No modifications to the head at all... At all.
These gotoh's are really heavy duty and look absolutely brilliant.
They are a direct fit and beef up the head no end.
It's a shame I can't put up a picture. So, whether you need replacements or are looking for an upgrade these babies are a must.

A better replacement for Warwick machine heads
After having the third original Warwick machine head break on my German 2006 Corvette F.N.A. Jazzman, I decided to look for a non-Warwick replacement. Hipshot tuners were a bit too pricey for my liking, so I opted for these Gotoh tuners. My first impression was that these are a more solid product than the originals, both aesthetically and mechanically. The turning feels smoother, and they do weigh 10 g more per piece (69 g versus Warwick's 59 g), which is negligible but certainly adds to the overall positive impression. The Gotoh GB707s are a perfect fit for the existing Warwick headstock holes, although I did keep the original screws on the backside, which have a slightly finer thread than the Gotoh screws, because I didn’t want to damage the existing threads in the wood. Finally, the Gotohs are a bit cheaper than the Warwick machine heads, making this purchase a no-brainer. I definitely recommend replacing your original faulty Warwick machine heads with Gotoh GB707s.

Awesome
They look great, feel really nice and very sturdy. The only thing to watch out for is they are to fit “Bore: 14 mm” the shim that goes over them is an extra 2mm so hopefully you have 16mm holes or you need to enlarge the ones you’ve got.
