Hey all, I'm a newbie here...
Finally broke down and started putting together my first Warmoth after 10+ years of contemplating it! Unfortunately, I am not very handy and tend to rush things and I broke off two tuner screws in my 2 peice Indian Rosewood Tele Neck (eek!)
I know there are several threads already on this issue and I had a friend remove them successfully, however, I DID IT AGAIN! But this time the screw hole was too big and the screw broke off all the way down at the tip inside the hole.
It happened on the last screw (for the high E tuner) and contemplated just stringing it up because it seems to hold in place, however, I would prefer to fix it and have it the right way (plus there would probably be tuning issues with the tuner wiggling slightly). And yes, it was those Kluson split shaft vintage style tuners with the cheap screws...but it's 100% my fault, i am not blaming anybody but myself...
Any suggestions to save this neck? Or is it a $300 piece of firewood? Keep in mind the screw is all the way down in the hole, about the full 1/2" depth.
Thanks for your help!
