Replacing tuners on Schecter Model T

Photo of your tuners?

 

you dont really need to drill them i dont thing, usually if im not mistaken tuner screws are self tapping, so some pressure will get them to thread in and make their own holes, just be careful of the instrument and how youre applying the pressure.

 

I would strongly reccommend drilling any hardwood before installing a screw no matter what the size.

 

yeah? its no biggie to do, especially if you have all the bits drill etc, i guess im just lazy. kids these days...

 

And you want to become a luthier with that sort of ethic?

Drill any hardwood first. Don't want to have to explain to a customer that you split his headstock

 

yeah man, im trying to get into it helping friends out with their stuff, and then on occasion getting some money from people they send to me that i dont know. i want to try to make a body when i can get some wood and have some money(yay debt!!) i have all the tools. now i dont have to make the mistake though, drill the damn pilot holes!

 

Hell, I've had to pre-drill hard maple just to get a 4-penny nail into it!
