TD's Acoustic (FH-5V)

I have also checked the fit of the Grover 98 tuners, which have a push-in bushing rather than a washer and nut. I found that the bushings are too small a diameter for the tuner holes!

I could dowel and redrill the holes, or wrap and glue newspaper around the holes! I will think about this a while.

I may need to do this with the push in bushings for some Gotoh tuners on a bass. I have found it hard to find dowels that fit...never thought of the newspaper trick, but it's definitely something to consider!

Trev, do you have access to a FO style inspection camera? It would be informative if you/we could get a look inside at the neck block and to make sure the bridge support is positioned correctly (assuming they still use a bridge support).

1+ I don't know that it's fiber optic, but I have found cheap endoscopes on Amazon. Not the clearest images in the world but well worth the <$20 I spent on it.

Trevor the stock holes are 10mm and if your using the vintage Kluson type machine head push in buttons are 8mm you can buy 10mm bushing for those there not hard to find especially if your in north America
