Can we see a picture of the tuners?
If they are vintage style like these:
then yes
If they are locking like these:

Then probably not, based on my experiences.
Maybe an expert can help you here?

It depends what tuners you have on it now. Any vintage 6 in a line tuners can be made to fit. You may need to buy new bushings to suit however. If your Strat has standard tuners on it at the moment, the holes will be too large. A photo of the rear of the headstock would be most helpful.

If it has vintage tuners, I'd leave them--they're some of the best tuners around IMHO. Congrats on the Strat BTW!

It currently has modern gold ones, and I want the replace them with chrome/nickel to match the rest of the hardware. I think. Or I may flip flop and change the rest to gold. Tough call.

jdog, if you send the SN into Fender Customer Service, they can give you the specs on your particular flavor of Strat. Based on those specs, it might make it easier to narrow down the tuner options you have.

It's a parts guitar! Warmoth neck and MIJ '95 body. The one Biscuti recently listed in Second Strum.
