Gday Wok,

The pearloid tip came off the E1 tuner and I got sick of tuning it with a pair of pliers and had a set of 3 a side Schaller tuners in a box, so with a touch of possibly enhanced thinking a hacksaw a pistol drill and a blue and white apron it became a pointy headstock which made the HBs mandatory ( it was around 1973 )
