Winding guitar tuning pegs: 1. Think I would like it for this, and 2. When I cut down the 1/4 shank on the winder, do I cut it to a round or hex 1/8?

You can drill a hole in the bottom of the winder's shank and force fit one of the bits into it. Make sure the hole is smaller than the bit and heat the bit a bit and melt it into the shank.That's how I did it.

Sounds like you are stringing it the opposite way you should. As you tighten the string it should put tension on the whammy bar. Our guitar turned out great and plays good. Great guitar.

An old slicer I had that was similar needed the wire replaced. I used a .016 guitar string and it worked great. It cost about $1 and was long enough to replace it 5 or 6 times.

They are a little better than the stock MIM tuners, but I wish I would have just went with the shcallers. Dont get them if you think they will keep you from tuning. You will still have to constantly retune your guitar. Tuning stability comes more from your nut than the tuning pegs. They are a step up from the stock tuners, just make sure you tune your guitar with slack in the string. Pull through tight and then pull string back about one fret. Lock the tuner, then tighten slowly giving yourself a nice downward rotation.

The round-shank (end) section is 24mm (~15/16") diameter, ~2" long. The (notched) hex-shank section is 30mm (~1 3/16") flat-to-flat, ~2 5/8 " long.

There are hex screws on the top for each string. You loosen the screw and slide the roller either forward or backwards. I had to oil the bridge when I got it but it stopped my Gibson SG from going out of tune when I used my Bigsby.

It is best to ask the manufacturer this question because this is an inexpensive tuner.I can tell you along with the plug in tuner, it has a pitch pipe which sounds each note to tune any six string guitar,so I would assume this particular tuner was not set up for more than a six stringer.This is only my assumption,but I could be wrong,that's why I think you should contact the manufacturer and ask them that question for a definite answer.Mario

That guitar will tune fine if you do it correctly. However they don't stay in tune as long as a full size guitar. I'm guessing its an electric guitar. Take the plug, plug it into the guitar jack and the jack on the tuner. The cord to do this should come with the guitar. I'm going to tell you how to tune it in Standard EADGbE tuning. Pluck the first string (the thickest string) and you will get a sound. Slightly turn the tuning pegs no more than a 1/4 turn around as you pluck the guitar string, keep turning the tuning pegs slowly (again, as you pluck that string) until the tuner says E (this tuner will say 6E). After that go one string down, each gets progressively thinner, then keep plucking and turning the tuning pegs until it says A (tuner will say 5A). Keep doing that, turning the peg to tighten the correspomding string for the next 4 strings, going to the smaller string each time for D, G, B and E (E is what the thinnest string will be tuned to.) Again, thickest string to thinnest (top to bottom) you will want E-A-D-G-B-E. Use the little green light in the middle as youre tuing so you know you're on key and getting exactly the sound you want. Some guitars only do it so well, so don't be bothered if you can't get it 100% correctly and just do it the best you can. M

This will probably need filed for that gauge of string to fit properly as the slots are thin enough for regular or light gauge strings and are meant to be adjusted to your particular set with a proper setup. I'm assuming you bend strings or use a tremolo quite a bit and have "sawed" into your nut. Those techniques can hasten the wear of a nut, but eventually all guitar nuts wear out. Short answer: you'll saw through this one just like you will any other nut out there. Just get good at replacing them. A small drop of glue to hold it in, but still make it easy to remove, is a good start. If you don't want to spring for fret files, a thin needle file should do the trick to seat a 52.

The peg itself is 1 1/8in from the rear of the gear housing to the tip. The string hole is at 15/16in, or 3/16in below the tip. These fit fine on a typical headstock 9/16 - 5/8in thick.

It's VERY narrow. I bet if you took off the strings, slid in the loop end in place, and put the strings on, you would be happy. The loop end is less than 1/16 inch and flattens. I think it would work for you. I'm not using that piece since I have two pegs.

It will tune to whatever the nearest note is- no issues with only detecting EADGBe. If you want to detune your 6th string to a D for instance, just detune it until the tuner picks up the tone as a D. My band plays tuned down a half step and it's very simple- great tuner.

I would first try adjusting the neck tension rod with the head under the plastic plate just about the nut of the fret board. I would be very reluctant to try to deepen the cuts in the nut, you'll probably end up with fret buzz. A machine shop should be able to straighten the bend of the bridge that the strings rest on. You might also research a replacement bridge system that is either adjustable or just simply lower. I was fortunate that mine cam to me pretty close to perfect. Mine has a great action. Good luck, DOC.

You need to go to their web site download their Gibson templates, print them out actual size. At this point you need to hold printed out pieces of paper up to your guitar and make sure the holes lineup perfectly. The way I did this was to cut out the circles that represent the tuning pegs on the pieces of paper that were the closest, and then lay them over the tuning pegs on the guitar. They will need to line up perfectly.

Use the pegs at the neck to ball park, and the fine tuners by your bridge to specify your exact notes. The tuning pegs on the headstock are like any other violin. You have to gently push them into the wood to get a tight grip that won't slip. I urge you: be carful, but firm at the same time. Thanks!

There is a set screw and there is about and inch to play with. I've had two of these. OneI had to cut about and 1/8 inch off and the other tuned about in the middle without cutting. Hope this helps.

you need to buy peg dope. search for hidersine hiderpaste. it's a waxy compound that basically adds friction where the peg meets the hole. Allows the peg to hold with less force. This instrument has fine tuners anyway so the cheap pegs shouldn't be a problem.
