Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Now that the headstock has been reshaped its time to put my PB50 back together. I found a spare set of squier (ping?) tuners in one of my miscellaneous bits boxes. These seem to be a slight upgrade from the stock HB ones. The holes don't match so I've filled the original ones and now need to make some new ones. Then I had an idea that will help me to be able to tune up when I'm wearing mittens. What do we all think? Should I do it? Quote

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 17, 2022 Author Posted May 17, 2022 Perfect! I'll just need to get the angle grinder out. Then it'll be time to flip it over to handwrite a logo & today's date with a biro. 3 Quote

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 17, 2022 Author Posted May 17, 2022 The tuners are reversable! Not sure this is in keeping with the spirit of the project though as it takes a job away from the angle grinder. Maybe if I use the angle grinder to carve the tuner ears into a scrotal shape it'll get back on track. This will of course have to be done freehand so they all end up different sizes. Quote

BreadBin Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 I predict that Gotoh's new Scrotalite range are going to be the next big thing. 1 Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 17, 2022 Author Posted May 17, 2022 Damn! mucked it up. I tried to get the angles right on the tuners but they seem to have come out in alignment. I couldnt find the angle grinder or my biro so I couldn't do the scrotal tuner reshape and had to put on a voodoo-decals logo. 1 Quote
