Aaargh. Help.
Ok. So after a dream first build - it has gone pear shaped literally on the last 2 screws !
When attempting to fix the first string guide - the screw snapped. It looked for a while like I was having success gripping the end of it with a pair of pliers and back rotating it out, BUT then ..... it snapped again, and it is now impossible to get a grip on it. I was so pleased with the headstock - now I am devastated.
Any ideas ? One thought I had was to try and source some small washers a little wider than the post which I could use as a base to sit the post on. Then I could perhaps screw in the post immediately next to the broken screw, and perhaps hide the stump of the broken screw under the washer. Otherwise it will just look like I have an old nail sticking out the headstock !
