ANyone know right off what size hole you drill for the bushings for floyd rose mounting studs? I drilled mine with a 3/8" bit, and it still seems to be quite snug. I know they need to be tight, but I don't want my wood to split when I drive them in.
thanks all

Are they authentic Floyd Rose, or one of the many copies which come in a variety of sizes?
