Another question for builders

Post by George Frachiseur »

Hey guys I have a question about the tuner keys on the tuning key head.
When there are no strings attached, does the shaft of the tuner key suppose to be able to be wiggled around?
The nut that attaches the tuning key to the tuning head is tight but the shaft can be wiggled around, some more than others.. is this normal?

Yes, there is always some clearance between the post and the bushing, It is a non issue once string tension is on.
