Yeah I thought two pickups were already pretty hard to align, I wouldn't want to have 3 to align!

My tuners are waverly open tuners, often used on acoustic guitars, those one:

really? This might be a cheap alternative, thanks.

I'll try that, anybody tried that trick already? thanks

Right now it's just a set of Daddario EXL110 regular light, the standard stuff but I might want to use a bigger gauge next time so if the nut slots are already too small that's something I need to fix.

I got a neck with a pre-cut nut from warmoth and I'm having tuning issues. I am using waverly tuners so I doubt that's the problem, unless I messed up the installation but I don't see how I could've done that, maybe some of the tuners aren't centered at 100% with the bushsing but I doubt that...

Thanks guys for the help. Almost all of the drilling is done, I'll just have to install a pickguard as soon as I find someone who can make a custom one for my LP. The results are ok and with the hardware on it's perfect.

I continued to asemble the guitar and I tried to be more careful with my drilling. The holes I drill are now clean but when I insert the screws the finish tends to pop up a little bit arround the hole. Maybe that's because I use drill bits that are too small for the screw.... but to me it really...

I did use tape before I drilled the hole for my strap button but still, it sort of made a thin layer of wood, including the finish over it, "pop up" like a little mountain and when I put the screw in it got worst. The strap button covered it and it doesn't show at all but I don't want that to...

Good tip, I didn't think about it at first. When you drill the holes for the screws, do you have a trick to make sure the finish won't crack? Thanks

Hi, I recently received my warmoth body and neck and I am slowly assembling it, it looks great I can't wait to play it loud! While I installed a strap button I accidently didn't use the right drill bit and when I put the screw in the hole I drilled (the hole was too small I guess) a thin layer...

Do you make them yourself or buy them from somewhere in particular?

On the forum I used to hang around it was always better to post in an existing thread than to start a new thread, it seems like it's not the case here...

What did you end up doing finally?

I recently received my LP neck from warmoth, yesterday I installed my waverly tuners on it and it looks awesome. The neck is made from wenge so it is unfinished and the supplied truss rod cover looks bad on it. Any suggestion for something that would look better on it? I was thinking of a 3...
