Need Help With Tuning Machines That Don’t Fit Properly?
Need help with tuning machines that don’t fit properly?
When you cannot just “drop them in” and must go custom. These are 18:1 ratio Oro Gold Grovers that presented an issue fitting requiring careful modification.
These were too small (holes) and needed to be enlarged. If radius is larger on your guitar than you’ll have to fill, dry, and then ream. If opposite you will have to make them larger patiently, carefully, and slowly, especially when arriving close to fit. If you ignore this step, a domino effect will in fact probably ruin your guitar and waste your time and this is probably a priority, yea? Ok! Now we’ve got this, friend!
This procedure was in fact carried out on a guitar that sleeps next to me at times. Five rotate as it’s very cold and they must be cared for.
The sounds they create are extremely important for an unknown reason that cannot be explained. This is why there was no room for error, at all.
Above: If your screw holes don’t line up [ABOVE] recycle sawdust/glue or whatever method you’re able to invent to fill old holes because they are too close and could split.
Patience and focus when straightening your six-in-line as well as the entire modification as it is extremely vital from the aesthetic perspective to the preservation of intonation. We’re almost there but not quite…
important: Take. Your. Time.
They sound great. “The resonant sustain is insane! How did….” said Iyyi
Much Love

The Sher-Wood has always been a workhorse.
Only option for curve: 77 [more of a heel curve] you know, snap shots like watch out. “Here we go now Give-R buddy” Come on Man!
Shout out to J! At times the forced pace of this world leaves little to no room for a moment to reminisce. It’s just a different time, and that’s ok eh!?! Many beautiful memories were made during moonlit hockey games in the mountains.
