Retrofit or Replacement Tuners for Fender Sho-Bud

Post by Virgil Franklin »

So.. a few years back Kluesen announced at NAMM they would be manufacturing replacement 8- and 10- string tuning machines and pans for Fender steel...

with the passing of time.. umm.. NOTHING.

Has anyone here found or attempted to retrofit or re-engineer the tuners on a Fender or Fender Sho Bud?

The guy that sells the NOS Sho~Bud parts (not pirated from older guitars) may have some that says "Sho~Bud" on them.

I have a 10-string tuning pan from a Fender 800/2000 if you need one of those.

Or there's the eBay/Reverb route.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?
