Wanted - short barrel Grover tuner

Jeff Lampert · Post by **Jeff Lampert** » 19 Mar 2009 2:33 pm

I have a stripped Grover tuner (where the screw-on nut goes into the hole) on the first string of the C6 neck. It has to be a short barrel because a regular barrel can't be installed since it doesn't clear the step between the two necks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, is it possible to repair it? My e-mail is jr.lampert@verizon.net Thanks for your help. .. Jeff

If it has a washer on it have you tried removing the washer to get you a titch more thread?

Yes. It's too stripped. Thanks for the reply.

What kind of guitar is it from Jeff?

It sounds like you're talking about the screw that holds the tuner key in place and not the nut that goes over the shaft...if this is the case, Instead of replacing the tuner assembly, have you tried to use the next size bigger screw? It may be hard to get started, but if it's already stripped, you may have no choice but to go to a bigger screw size.

Hey Jim,

What's a titch??

Good to see you and Karen in Texas.
