New Machine Heads day today
Just about replaced every stock bit on this thing other than the neck plate, scratch plate and front control plate which obviously are the only things left that don't really matter so much.
Progress shots showing old stock tuners compared to Real Parts made in USA replacements. At first glance they look the same but after a more detailed inspection there are some obvious differences......
Apologies for some blurred shots.....in the 2nd last one, high up on the LHS you might see that some of the chrome has started to come off showing a pinkish coppery colour just staring to poke through. The metal base is a little bit thinner but the biggest difference is how the shaft is sealed on the upgrade plus how it engages with the sprocket gear on the back which is also more robust. Bonus is that there appears to be an allen head screw at the bottom of the shaft suggesting some scope for maintenance perhaps or maybe reversing the tuner?
