They are totally widely available

It's actually very very common still. I do studio engineering too, and have been teching myself for over 20 years. When I first got into some of the forums, like Cakewalk, etc., trying to navigate things - some of the descriptions relied SO heavily on experience, forethougt and knowledge. It also has happened to me trying to learn how to build pedals, with electronics. That's probably the worst. If you can't read a schem - WHOO BOY. Hahaha.

Actually the guy at Stew Mac is going to make a recommendation about the whole thing to the technical team - He said he himself did not know about it. A simple piece of paper explaining the features will be all that would be necessary.

Well, this was explained to me by Stew Mac. I wish they had explained this when I first contacted them about it. I didn't see it on the instructions that came with it Either. it's not exactly intuitive. To me anyway.

If you watched the video I focused on making sure things were zeroed out. Still inaccurate.

Yeah, I've never really used that little Crown crown height measurement, I use that tail height measurement ALL the time. To me. It's more important to have all 3 measurements accurate and compatible. It most certainly is within a couple hundredths on my cheap $20 Amazon caliper. It's actually shocking to me that it is that far off.

No way you and I are gonna agree on this

I don't know. A measuring tool should be at least SIMILAR in measurements regardless of features, REGARDLESS of where you take the measurement from - because that measurement needs to transfer to other cutting and measuring tools. It should Not 2 MM off like this. I use that tail measurement ALL the time.

I just can't believe it is that off. This is literally the 3rd pair of Calipers that is exactly off like that. Unfortunately, this has messed me up, because I expect that measurement to transfer to other measuring tools, at least within a few hundredths of a MM. It's also hard to believe nobody else has complained about it and they don't know about it!

I have sent these back 2x already. What am I doing wrong? I have decided it MUST be me, although my cheap Amazon calipers don't do it. I don't know what to do. Please help!

Oh man, you're right!!!! Yeah, I didn't see this, but I DEFINITELY have a set of RIGHT SIDE tuners when I ordered left. SO I'M NOT CRAZY. I'll tell you what, bro. My Imposter Syndrome was kicking in HARD on this one. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, it's too late for all that. I need to get the correct side. My bad. Ugh. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I was totally confused ordering this. I thought LEFT, meant the left side of the headstock, NOT Left Handed guitar. I messaged Guitar Fetish and am trying to see if I can make an exchange. UGH.

Excuse my ignorance, but I am making a jazz bass and these are the tuners I got. What am I doing wrong? They obviously don't fit very well in the template and they Also seem to be upside down. Are these left handed tuners instead of right handed tuners? Help!

Unfortunately, the control cavity is on the front as this is a Jazz bass. I actually ended up planing it down, and adding a veneer to cover. I tried to get the grain direction to match on the repair attempt, but messed up putting the plug in. It was just a serious pain from the get go. I'll never trust the stop on my drill press again!!! I'll mark the depth with a piece of tape as well in future. That was a big job to fix this, and the loss of another body blank to make it happen.
