Purchased This for Tuner Holes

[HumanisHappy]

I’ve come across this jig for the small tuner security holes. Has anyone tried it? I feel like, even with the price, it’s probably worth it compared to messing up a beautiful neck.

Nice jig. I just bought one, thanks.

Have not tried it but it seems like a good design for tuners with the pin hidden under the housing. For years Sperzel was the only one using this design and all they gave you to help was a cardboard alignment gauge printed on the box. People would butcher those installs so badly!

I use this type when I have to fit pin tuners.

Tuner Pin Drill Jig - StewMac

Accurately positions the hidden tuning machine pin holes. Ideal for one and two-pin Schaller tuners, one-pin Sperzels, and Fender locking tuners.

The one linked in the above post is a similar idea / copy and a more reasonable price, so worth a try.

I have one and it works well. I’ve leased it out a few times over a decade+ and I’ve paid for it.

I have the one from StewMac, and it worked great on my recent build with Schaller M6 2-pin tuners. But it’s twice as expensive as the one on Reverb, and looks like it does the same job, so have at it…

I probably should use one, but I always just use the tuner itself as the guide.

"Test in production on the live server? Absolutely."

You made me cringe there Ned
