Why not locking guitar tuners, Patrick?

Oh, and are the locking tuner dimensions the same as the non locking tuners?

BTW here is a trick to lock down your string.... Probably everybody knows it already...

When you put your string in the tuning hole, the first wrap turn goes up (above the hole), then the other wraps go below the string hole...

This will phisically block your string...

Cheers for that Patrick... and no, I didn't know it .

What type of nut are you going to use?

 

[hufschmid]

 

[caughtinamosh]

+1 for Hufslip .

How difficult do you find the task of cutting/slotting your own nuts (...that sounds painful )? I might have to this when my custom neck arrvies, as there are not many (if any) people here who could do it.

First thing I ever learned about stringing a guitar. BUT! Locking tuners are much faster, and sexier IMO.

Good tip for anyone who didn't know it already!

Speaking of pickups, here's a slightly question -

How do you determine what to ask Kent Armstrong to wind? Do you ask the customers to name existing pickups they like the sound of? Do you ask them their favourite genres of music to play?

Very unique looking guitar in those colours/finishes - awesome work.
