Gottastopbuyinggear Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 The nylon washer between the tuner peg and shaft has disintegrated on my sonās Ibanez SR300. Ā Does anyoneĀ have any idea where I could buy replacements? Ā I can see plenty of places selling ones that are about 6mm outside, 4mm insideĀ diameter, but these are more like 8.56mm outside, 6.5mm inside. Ā The closest I can find are drum tension rod washers so I may have to give that a try. Ā Ā Quote

Got 2 spare if that helps? Edited September 29, 2021 by PaulThePlug Quote
Gottastopbuyinggear Posted September 30, 2021 Author Posted September 30, 2021 Ah, CD Guitars - Iād forgotten about them. Ā TheyĀ do seem to be a bit of a treasure trove for awkward to get parts - think I bought an extra long truss rod nut from them a while ago. Ā Ā Iāve replied to your PM, and thanks again for the kind offer - Iāll happily relieve you of one of your spares! Ā Ā Quote
NancyJohnson Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 Top tip! If you need a quick fix, buy a loaf of bread with one of these.Ā Punch out a tight hole, pop it down the machine head shaft and nip off the rest.Ā It works just as well. Ā Those damn washers seem nightmarishly difficult to locate. Ā Quote
neepheid Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 One of these disappeared off one of my tuners.Ā It is nearly 18 years old so c'est la vie.Ā I found these:Ā Ā https://www.axesrus.co.uk/Machinehead-Nylon-Tension-Washers-p/nylongwashers.htm Ā When they arrive I'll let you know if they are suitable.

neepheid Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Whoops, the axesrus ones are too small, for these Gotoh GB7-a-likes at least. Ā Never mind Quote

Ā I don't think about these things - what are these "guitars" you speak of?Ā 6?Ā I just thought it was an even number picked on a whim... 1 Quote
Gottastopbuyinggear Posted December 23, 2021 Author Posted December 23, 2021 @PaulThePlugvery kindly sent me two when I needed one for my sonās bass. Ā Iāll check with him to see if heās still got the second and if so Iād be happy to pay the favour forward and send it to you, @neepheid. Ā Donāt hold your breath, though - heās not the most organised so may not be able to find it! 1 Quote

Ā That's very kind of you but I'm ok - I sorted out my issue by stealing a washer from one of the crappy tuners I replaced on my Epiphone Embassy.Ā I wasn't going to use them for anything anyway because they're pretty poor - and I wouldn't inflict them on someone else if I ever sold the Embassy Ā Keep it for the next time someone puts out an SOS - I have 3 remaining.
