madzombieguy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi all. I have a Peavey milestone (not the one i'm selling) that I want to give a facelift to and eventually turn into a decent little monster. I really want to change the tuning machines though as im not keen on those chrome butterfly types. I'd like to have black Warwick-like machines on instead, but i'm terrible at D.I.Y and such. Can anyone say whether this will be an easy job or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Most machinehead dimensions can be found online so if you can take one of your off and measure the thickness of the shaft (ooer missus) etc then have a look at some of the stuff available. there are surprisingly few different sized machineheads in the world. the actual bit you turn may vary but there are only a few different shaft sizes so it should be relatively easy to find something. Off the top of my head, the main ones are the Gotoh GB7 mini tuners which are sealed and attach with one screw at the back a la Warwick and 2 different Fender sized ones - the larger being on most CIJ & MIA Fenders and the others generally on MIM and cheaper CIJ instruments.
