Nice work. Can you repair the tuners on my 54 Fender string master D-8? Both ashtrays are pretty much wore out. Nice job on those steels.

Keyless tuners

Hey Sonny, It looks like you will have to go into mass production on the keyless tuners. I have tried to make some with limited success. I keep breaking taps trying to tap the holes.

Shorty boards

Post by Billy Gilbert »

That has been a good while ago. I think it was about 19 inches overall with about a 15 inch scale. I don't remember where I got the fret board. Dom Franco maybe. He can make any scale length you want.
