Asomodai Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Heya guys, im customising a telecaster i managed to get for cheap, i just managed to shape the headstock to what i wanted, unfortunatly, there is one problem. ,the 6th tuner where the high E will go. If i put it the same place as where they would normally go, then there woul dbe overhang from the tuner, and i dont particulay want this at all ((my fault for not looking at what i was doing)). So i have two other options, which are. the one in this picture... This isent the ideal option as i think it looks rather ugly, but it doesant have any over hang, and it would be resonably sturdy, thought on it guys? http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/attac...&postid=1196142 Or i could attempt to do this, the problem is the screwhole would be very close to the edge of the headstock, is there a chance of splitting the wood and ruining my chances? i much prefer this way. if possible. Any opinions on what i could do guys?

skibum5545 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 YOu could always do this: but you might run into reversibility issues with the tuners... any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I agree with him, the MM style of the high E on the bottom would be cool, but if you have to choose from the other I would suggest the key being at the tip instead of at the bottom, I would suggest if you chose the MM idea, I would also bring the B as well so its more like an axis or something, but again, you may not want to cut on the head anymore so its your call, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I agree with the EB thing. A banjo tuner would work too. Merle Haggard had one on his E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
