It says "Jim Dunson" on the headstock if thats any help.

Its a really bad guitar that i bought at a car boot sale so i could mess around with it. The machine heads are broken and the rest of it is cracked and rusted.

Thanks for the advice, ill start measuring the holes tommorrow

Thanks a lot, yes i did use a webcam and its really bad. unfortunately its the only digital camera i own. yes they are those economy ones. what would be a good type to replace them with (I want the replacement to be as easy and painless as possible but i also want a decent set of machine heads)

Hi, could someone answer the following questions:

What type of machine heads are these?

Where can I get similar machine heads?

Will I be able to fit other varieties of machine heads straight to my guitar or will I need to drill extra holes etc?

How will I know that machine heads I buy online will fit my guitar?

How do I remove gmachine heads from the guitar?

I'm new to guitar building. I thought id start small and just try to repair and improve an existing guitar, so i went and bought one from a car boot sale. I want to take it apart to see what parts needs replacing.

How do I go about removing the scratchplate (in particular, removing the pickup selector and volume/tone controls without damaging them or the guitar)?
