Harley Benton PB50 tuners upgrade


Recommended Posts

Now that the headstock has been reshaped its time to put my PB50 back together.

 

I found a spare set of squier (ping?) tuners in one of my miscellaneous bits boxes. These seem to be a slight upgrade from the stock HB ones. The holes don't match so I've filled the original ones and now need to make some new ones.

 

Then I had an idea that will help me to be able to tune up when I'm wearing mittens.

 

What do we all think?

 

Should I do it?

Perfect! I'll just need to get the angle grinder out. Then it'll be time to flip it over to handwrite a logo & today's date with a biro.

But those tuners all match... I hope at least you have taken an angle grinder to the nut.

The tuners are reversable! Not sure this is in keeping with the spirit of the project though as it takes a job away from the angle grinder.

 

Maybe if I use the angle grinder to carve the tuner ears into a scrotal shape it'll get back on track. This will of course have to be done freehand so they all end up different sizes.
