Nifty tuners/screwless mounting

TimmyO

Tuners arrived today for my Tele build.

Hipshot locking staggered ones.

They come with a mounting plate that means no screws required (attached via a threaded bushing from the front and locate agaisnt tabs on the plate to line up straight)

That's a brilliant idea, and they look good

I've just got the same set for my tele build too! I've had a set of the non-locking versions on my 335 for the past 18 months, very stable tuners, nice feel etc.

Does yours happen to have a roasted maple neck as well, or is that just a tinted satin finish perhaps?

Yes it's roasted maple

Sounds good, very similar to mine - chunky soft V, 6100s, 12" rad.

It's just arrived an hour ago... literally 5 mins after I left to go on hols for a week!!!! My wife kindly sent this through to tease me though:

It looks quite plain here, but there's some lovely wild figure hiding underneath. I'm just trying to make my mind up between truoil or nitro. Here it is pre-cnc:

Nice neck , I did one recently ,oiled the body , that was fine .

Oiled the neck but didn`t like it , ended up spraying satin nitro over the Tru-Oil ,

 came out fine , nice silky feel to it now.

So , personally I`d go with the oil , and if you don`t like it ...............................
