Homemade Electric Guitar???

Question

Does Anyone No How To Make Homemade Machine Heads (Tuning Pegs) For An Electric Guitar????????????????????

Answer 1

I'd have to agree.  There are some things which (although it would be cool) I would never try to make myself.  Winding pickups is enough of a pain, I'd prefer to just leave things like machine heads and bridges to the professionals who are set up to do it properly.  Even if you do manage to make them, don't count on them staying in tune nearly as well as a good set of Gotoh's or Schaller's.

Answer 2

There is an excellent guide on YouTube.

Answer 3

Unless you have a lathe and are in the metal cutting trade, why would you do that.  Go out and buy them.  People carve the bodies homemade style because they want a certain sound from the woods.  Tuning pegs are generic.

Answer 4

the whole assembly? you would almost need a machine shop; I think you would be better off buying a cheap set.
