bobbytodd Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 while playing my vmj tonight I noticed a huge rattle when playing open strings.it turns out the top half of the g string tuning peg is loose compared to the threaded bit and that's where the rattle is from.so before I take it apart can it be re tightened or do I just need to replace it cheers rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I had this the other week - check that the crosshead screw that goes through the machine head hasn't come loose. A quick nip with a phillips driver and it disappeared. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbytodd Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 sorted took the machine head off it turns out that the peg is two halves joined by a small splined shaft they pull apart.so I put a small bit of plumbers tape round the splined shaft and pushed it back together no more rattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
