I just got my 2000 AS80 and I love it...everything but the tuners. What are the best tuners to go with (without having to redrill holes?) It doesn't look like there are any screws in these...

You're right, it doesn't look look like there are any screws. Here is the part: http://www.ibanez.com/parts/2000_PARTS/El-Guitar/PARTS-PICT/2MH1CG333C.htm#2MH1C G333C

I'm not sure if there is an upgraded tuner out there that will mount without drilling small screw holes. If you are willing to drill small holes, I would highly recommend Gotohs. Gotoh makes the tuners for many of the higher end Ibanez models. My personal favorite are the Delta 510 locking tuners.

I second the Gotoh 510's. mine are the non-locking 510's super machines which I prefer and never slip a bit. I put some Gotoh 510's also on a AK85 and it totally improved the intonation. They are worth the 75-80 bucks!
