thats a huge paddle headstock PK. What you need to find out of the treble side of the HS needs to be thicker to side mount the tuners, or if the whole HS is say about 16-18mm thick whether the bass side needs longer tuners for the extra width. Is it possible to glue a wedge shape so the treble side is thicker for the side mount tuners ? Find out how wide a Kluson type tuner is.

Hi Woks,Originally Posted by wokkaboy
the headstock is 15mm thick. But I am pretty sure the one I had back in 1960 didn't have a thick headstock. so maybe a bit of head scratching and measuring. The biggest concer is drilling a hole for the shaft. a 10mm hole only leaves 2.5mm each side, an 8mm hole gains 1mm soa 3.5mm clearance. Not sure that would be enough. Probably should have gotten DB to make the neck
The 'Satan' that Billy owns was made by Cole-Clarke, it does have a thicker headstock on the trebbel side.
