i thought that the villager was introduced in the cbs era, and all of them that i have seen feature f-keys or tuner holes that are f-keys.
but i found this villager that has kluson style keys.
i know i have seen some 65's with both, but i think by about mid 66 all tuners were f-keys, can anyone verify this?

yeah, i think mid to late '65 is when they introduced them. but you'll probably find klusons well into '66.

I thought it was '67, but the MG65 has them, so you're probably right, bubbles.

i think that by '67 you'll see "f" tuners almost exclusively. in '65 and '66 they used both "f" and kluson styles with no real consistency.

this is true, for a while during '66 they were drilling for both F tuner holes and Kluson's, my Oct 66 jazzmaster neck is drilled for both but the f tuner holes have never had screws in them

One of my '69 Mustangs has Kluson's and the other 3 from the same year have F style.

Agh, I hate the idea of that, the idiots. Though I suppose it's good/handy if you'd rather have one over the other.
