henrim Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 Fitting and shaping. The bottom wing has an angle adjustment feature. Also neck position will be adjustable in relation to the body. Likely one time adjustments, but they are easy to implement in this type of jig saw puzzle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought of mini ball-races between the knob and saddle-holder? Andre Passini at Nova Guitar Parts uses them and they absolutely transform the ease of turning. I have fitted a number of different headless systems over the years and this idea is the game changer without a doubt. I'll try to find a pic of the ball races from those fitted in one of my builds.

Andyjr1515 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 The ball races Andre at Nova fits are shown here: As I say - game changer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Google 'Mini/Miniature Thrust Bearings' Thanks. I have fitted a thrust bearing in to a lathe to ease the compound slide movement, so I know they can really make a difference. I guess I didn’t even think I could find so small thrust bearings that I could use them on these tuners, but as they are available I guess I should order some a test them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
