    Replacing tuner machine heads on Vintage guitar

    in Acoustic Guitars

    Posted

    I believe these are what you're looking for. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tuners/Guitar,_solid_peghead_tuners/Golden_Age_Restoration_Tuners_for_Solid_Peghead_Guitar/Golden_Age_Restoration_Tuners_for_Solid_Peghead_Guitar_with_Scallop-end_Baseplates.html

    Just out of curiosity, why are you replacing them? If the buttons are deteriorating you can just replace those without having to replace the whole tuner(s). Those old buttons dry out and turn to dust eventually and it's not uncommon to replace them. They're easy to replace and cheap, too!

    -----------Not Segal, although If I had his money, I could live in my mansion and ride in my limo while ignoring the Haters like you begging for a dime at my windshield:thu:, all while strumming Albert King's Flying V and looking at the several dozen prime vintage guitars in my car:lol:. It must be nice having all you want while the jealous bedroom rockers rail against you in their faceless manner on websites:rolleyes:
    :lol:

    Steve, I want to apologize for thinking I was Above The Law in criticizing your blues. After reading your post, I now feel Under Seige and On Deadly Ground. Now that you're Out For Justice I can only hope I'm not Marked For Death. If I have to I'll head Into The Sun to be Out Of Reach of The Patriot and Mercenary For Justice. I realize you're probably Out For A Kill but I'll even brave the Belly Of The Beast to elude your Urban Justice and the threat of being Pistol Whipped or shot. I'm already Half Past Dead and the Exit Wounds would probably put me Out Of Reach of The Glimmer Man since my Ticker is no longer able to fight Against The Dark against A Dangerous Man like you. But, I was Born To Raise Hell so I'll take up my Machete if need be in my Flight Of Fury if you choose to be the Shadow Man of The Keeper of the blues. You'll never throw the Kill Switch on me or utter the words "Today You Die" as long as you wield a guitar in vain! :)

    ---------------I disagree big time. In this era of people trying to sound EXACTLY their favorite blues hero, and certainly have no originality about them:facepalm:, Steven sounds like himself:idea:, and he is NOT a bad singer or guitarist. He is a guy following his own path, and If you don't like him, Fine, but he isn't a horrible player or singer...................The REAL Rocker.

     

    Sorry to hurt your feelings, Steve. I didn't realize you were a forumite...

    :lol: Have you ever heard Billy Gibbons talk about his gear? Whether it's a guitar or a pedal or a pick, he seems to do the same thing thing. So does EVH. When Music Man was making 'em they were the best, but then Peavey makes 'em and they're the best and now Fender makes 'em and guess what - they're the best! And it's not just these guys, they were just the first ones that came to mind.
    Geez, I thought other musicians quit paying any attention to this kind of BS once they got out of middel school

    I'll share my worst one. Doing the show, getting the look from some lady, you know the drill. She's OK, kind of a big ass, but I've had worse, and just was in the mood that night. So I'm talking to her after the set, trying to see if I was reading the situation right, and I was. She drives me back to her place and we are making out.


    So we get to the point where I'm heading up the dress. Yes, I found a surprise. No, it wasn't a penis, it was a freakin' diaper. Apparently, I had a giant shocked look of WTF on my face. She just laughs, and says she doesn't have any problems or anything, she just thinks bar bathrooms are nasty and the wait is too long. Needless to say, I got outta there in a hurry.


    I've thought about this incident a lot since then, and there are so many unanswered questions. Was her explanation true? It was such a quick response, so I think it might have been. And if so, why didn't she lose it before we got busy? And also, how is pissing yourself less nasty than the bathroom?


    That incident freaked me out to the point that I swore off groupies for quite some time.



    She didn't happen to mention working for NASA, did she?
