The Fatalities Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I was wondering what other machine heads are there that i could get that are not the average oval one. Ive seen the the ones that look like this but its just doesnt cut it for me __ \_/ I want something more sharp and evil The smallened bass machine head would be cool.

redwhiteandthemaple Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 You could always just make your own tuning knobs out of wood, and paint them.. Take the old ones out.. and customize 'em.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer X Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Dude, it's a friggin machine head: turn one way, the string tightens. Turn it the other, string loosens. Stop trying to be so badass, and just play the ****er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox2551 Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) Um....... I'd say if you could get some flat blank ones made you might be able to machine them into pointy shapes... Me, I'd rather not cut myself while I'm tuning...... Or really any other time either... Edited April 17, 2006 by Firefox2551 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwhiteandthemaple Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Make it out of wood then spray some metallic paint on it.. Or stain it with your blood.. There's some paint which makes it look 'machined' I'm guessing if the tuning keys are this detailed and specific, the guitar must be made out of Satan himself??

soapbarstrat Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I once had the same problem. Had to give up on trying to find evil tuner knobs, and instead hired 6 little pointy toothed vampire elves to sit on the headstock and pull the strings tight and in tune.
