70s Vibe Pentatonic....Caster?

I buffed out the front of the headstock and reamed out the tuner holes which were quite built up with lacquer. Gently tapped in the bushings and lined things up with a straight edge to mark my drill holes. I went with the trusty vintage style Gotoh tuners, I've been a fan for a long time of the hollow cavity the string end sits in. I have them on a 20 year old strat that stays in tune better than most other guitars. I then installed the Gotoh vintage 6 screw tremelo and swapped out the saddles for Graphtech String Savers.

My experience with String Saver saddles is they absolutely improve the resonance and sound quality on every guitar I've installed them on. I don't usually have an issue with string breakage so that's not really the intended purpose. And though some may say that they don't change the tone, it does to my ear so that's all that matters

Awesome work! Well done. I like how you’re particular with every little detail, even down to things no one else will see. But you know. Like the overhang of the copper tape. You’re a craftsman. Respect!!!
