Tuner Pin Hole Issue


Recommended Posts

Everything went well drilling the pin holes for my tuners except for one. It was offline. I must have measured wrong. I enlarged the hole to what brings the tuner back in line, but should I expect problems from the freeplay? Should I fill the hole and drill again? The fix wouldn't be visible once the tuner is in, but neither is the larger hole. I'd leave well enough alone, but I'd rather fix it than have problems from it later.

I can't access that picture from here, but I would say that if string tension will keep the tuner in the correct position, I'd put a little wood filler in and sand it flat. If string tension will pull it away from the desired position, maybe something a bit stronger, like some wood shaped to fill the gap?
