Nice one mate, that's helped me a great deal. 👍🏼

Have you or any of the customers noticed an significant increase in the weight of the guitar? And also, playability, due to your bare forearm rubbing against the finish?

What type of resin/epoxy did you use for this project?

I use a 10 mm reamer it has a little taper but will not ream over 10mm, if I am drilling new holes I use a 9mm bit and finish with the 10mm reamer

What size drill bit would you recommend for fender locking tuners

Is this kit worth it?

Smooth :)

Just bought one, looking forward to routing it in

This got me thru installing new hipshot locking critters where the pot metal squire stuff had failed to keep tune! THANK you!

The guys touting fancy reamers are missing the point. This is a perfectly good working man's fix. Just be careful with veneered headstocks like Gibson. I went very slow, it worked. If you go too fast it's easy to split the headstock towards the edge. Ouch!

The model I have has a similar tailpiece to the one you are playing. The hooks aren’t really hooks, just metal teeth and loop end strings don’t stay on them. Is the one you are demonstrating, like this. If so do you have any suggestions?

I just bought a reliance x on eBay. Are you meant to double up the string loops on the hooks? There are only 4

I get the same outcome if I cover both front and back with masking tape. I forgot which is better - drilling from the top or the back of the headstock.

+Euroa Guitars. Dr GAS Pickups what's the neck shape like? Is it a C like a fender or is it different?

Hi! I found a reliance banjolele for 120 euros second hand, looks in good shape. Do you think it's worth it? I don't know much about this brand and I don't know where to ask for info haha. Thanks for your demo. Love banjoleles, it's very sweet to see people restoring these instruments.

What sort of Resin please?, Many Thanks.

start off with a smaller drill bit then move up to that one

Hi! Great video! I am trying to build on Mosrite like guitar. I have one question, what is the radius of the bit and the depth on the german carve?

I did this to a cheap Charvel I wish I had done like this I chipped it a little but I put lock tuners that kept it in tune much better . For it to be Maple I have no idea where it was made I traded it for a looper station I asked if the neck was straight so it's actually a descent sounding guitar now

I didn't want to have to buy a reamer for a job I was gonna do exactly once, thanks!

Just found this! Great idea! I’ve got a couple of these projects ready to go. This makes so much more sense compared to the others methods I’ve researched! Some of these others will are needlessly complicated and time consuming! As a person that’s mechanically inclined and good with his hands you learn to find the best methods and avoid over complicating your work.

Can you use this over top of an already painted body? Or should I strip it first?

Why not drill through the two outside holes first, then line the block up on that so the holes are lined up?

Nice ukes 👍

Nice job 👍

Any progress on this?

Get a stepped reamer for RC airplane props and go from 8mm to 10 mm holes simply using a drill or drill press from the back of the headstock. A drill press is precise and perfectly square to the rear of the headstock. Do NOT use a hand drill since you cannot hold it steady or drill perfectly square to the rear of the headstock. The 8mm holes need to be 10 mm diameter from the rear side of the headstock and about 9mm deep. A 'reamer bit' is tapered and you need the rear of the headstock holes 10 mm diameter for 9 mm deep and the 8mm holes at the front to remain. A drill press makes it easy with the bit mentioned...

I have used the reverse drill bit method also it never hurts to do a practice run on scrap wood so you get a good feel for how the bit grabs and reacts in reverse.

Ironic, I’ve got an American G&L Tele , straight from the Fullerton factory, which is is a real beauty but I HATE the pickup sound.

Great explanation mate.

Love it!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love the music and the guitar.

Wow!

👍🏻

Great stuff! :D

Guys i know it look reeeeaaally bad but i just did it cuase im stupid... It turned out very very good actually. Just take it really slow. And you need to make sure the drill i fairly strait then you are god to go, SLOW.

Why not use a reamer tool that looks bad to me .

Don't use a drill. Here is the right tool: www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Tools_by_Job/Tools_for_Tuner_Installation/Peghole_Reamers.html

Sir,you are a genius. Used this method yesterday,worked a treat.thank you!

Drill in reverse worked perfectly - thanks for the tip!

You are doing it the hard way! I just completed this job in just a few minutes with a great tool from a company named Mcmaster-Carr part # 3141A65. It's an adjustable reamer that does a fantastic job in just minutes. And you don't have to bother with adjusting your hole size to compensate for the taper on other reamers.

Brilliant! Just installed new Grover tuners. Drilling in reverse worked like a charm...thank you!

Either run the drill in reverse or use a stepped drill bit (that also self centers to an extent). But I think without a drill press it is a gamble

Wish I had watched this before going in... I started with a 10mm wood drill, 1 second later: had to put some filler in to get the splintered wood replaced. Well the tuners cost almost more than the guitar so what the hell :P Also a great idea to go from 8mm to 9mm to 10mm.

thanks! I just ran into this issue. Glad I didn't start without doing some research. Reverse drill it is!

Worked a treat. The wood did start cooking but I ran it a little slower and stopped in between. Thanks dude!

I ran the drill in reverse and now my guitar is left-handed. I'm going to need your contact information so I can sue you.

Nice 👍

can you cut the fabric after you apply the resin without a router?

thanks! this was excellent advice. worked perfectly.
