LTD B4 JR Tuners & Factory String gauge size

I'm looking to upgrade the tuners on the B4 Junior.  Are there any known direct replacements that fit for this model that I can buy?  Also, which string gauges were the factory strings?  Thank you!

These are compatible tuners and strings as ESP customer service told me.

Did those tuners actually fit when you attempted to install them? I bought a set after being informed by the ESP team they were direct replacements, but they are quite a bit larger than the stock tuners. Also, there is drilling and/or reaming to be done to the mounting holes in order to make them fit and I don't have the tools or skill for that.

I'm not sure yet.  I haven't bought the tuners because I've been nervous they aren't a direct fit and I haven't found a retailer who sells these tuners and will accept returns if the tuners are opened.  I'll try to take measurements once I have the measuring tools to do so before making a purchase.    I too don't have the skillset or tools to make modifications to the headstock should the tuners not be a direct fit.
