Hi guys,
I broke a screw whilst putting on the machine heads. There is not enough of the screw exposed to get onto with pliers or vice grips and the metal is too soft to get a good grip on anyway. These screws are too small for the usual extractor methods. The screw tab on the machine head is too small to cover the drill and plug method.
Any ideas? The neck and headstock that had just been beautifully finished by a 70 year old Chinese wood finisher?
Cheers and have a great Christmas and New Year,
Rod
