| Post subject: | Gotoh open back tuner installation |
I am installing Gotoh open back tuners part number GNS1B from LMI on my first guitar. I have not been able to find any instructions on installing these. I am confused about what size hole to drill for the shaft and how to counter bore for the bushing. The shaft is 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) but by the housing where the shaft sets, the diameter is .295 inches (7.5 mm). Should I drill the through hole 0.295 inches or will 1/4 through hole be best to use. What is the best way to put in the counter sink for the bushing? Thanks EddieLee |

Eddie, That little lip is only 2mm tall, so I just use a countersink. Keep the rest of the hole at 1/4". You want a good fit for the shaft. Pat |

Drill a 1/4 inch hole all the way thru .. then drill for the countersink on the back end/plate of the tuner. You will need a Stwe mac drill/reamer for the bushing - I think the std size for waverlies works fine .. but measure the bushings to be sure |

just experiment with different bits on a piece of scrap made of the same wood and find what works best |
