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.
