Hello everyone! I'm doing an Alligator replica and apologize if this has been answered. I know the tuning machines are Schaller® M6 90 Chrome-Plated Die-Cast Tuners with Large Buttons. On the Schaller site there are three post lengths: 19.7 / 21.7 / 23.7. That measurement is from the bottom of the head stock to the string hole.

The standard ones that retailers (Stewmac for example) sell are 28.78 measured from the bottom of the head stock to the top of the peg.
Would you just purchase this tallest one which appears to be the standard tuners from StewMac?
