Rogueporn Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) In the process of pimping up my MIJ 62RI fender precision ( Badass 2, schaller tuners, wizard thumper pup) I'm finding the tuner ferrule on the E string doesn't stay pushed all the way in and pops out about 1mm. I think this is because the surface on which the lip of the ferrule isn't perfectly flat, but curves towards the nut. Anyone any ideas, I was thinking of either bending the lip of the ferrule, or trying to flatten out a bit of the headstock using a bounter bore.

mrcrow Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 give it a few months to settle in...could just be temporary and not affect tuning too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogueporn Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 The ferrule is in the same condition as when I got it with the original tuners. The new ones were meant to sort it. I did push the ferrules in firmly using a brass nut, bolt ans washer through it and tightened. But obviously when the tuning post was put through and tightened it squared up the ferrule and pushed it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
