What should I do with these tuners?

[amigarobbo]

I got some fancy tuners for my strat style guitar, 6 left

But alas their too big for a strat head, I thought they'd look nice, what with the art deco style, which they do, but...

not the best pictures but:

So what can I put them on? that'll fit? Or should I just give up and slap them on eBay or something?

I love those tuners but am used to seeing them on Gibson super-jumbos and archtops. They would definitely be mighty strange looking on a Strat.

I suppose you could look for a nice tunerless Gibson J-200 or L-5  *or* just sell 'em.

Or build a Mooncaster around them! Not sure if they'd fit any better on a different 6-on-a-side headstock, but it would sure be cool...

 

[AirCap]

Send them to me for disposal...

 

[amigarobbo]

I don't think they'd fit on a Mooncaster headstock either, they're just as tight as the strat, as least as far as I know?


Might fit on one of those droopy headstocks.

I've just noticed that the pegs themselves unscrew, this opens up more options, maybe I could get some locking tuners, put these fancy knobs on, and shove them onto a Arrow Headstock on a Star shaped body in metallic Charcoal Frost in satin with gold hardware.

Not that I've been over thinking this of course.

Well, that would the easiest way, Only $350 postage, but seeing as you asked so nicely $349.  :toothy11:

I've only ever seen them as 3x3, never an inline 6.

You may just have two half's of two sets of tuners.

I think I haz decided.

I'm not building anymore guitars, but after the Burgundy Mist F*nder XII style split jazzmaster guitar I'm not building, I'll not be building a Star shaped guitar, with a Nomad neck, without holes drilled for tuners, and I'll do them myself in a 4- 2 configuration, the bottom two will be reverse wind, but I can live with that.

Single bridge mounted gold Lace alumatone pickup, ebony fretboard, gold star inlays gold Evo fretwire single volume control with a push pull to coil tap the Alumatone, and of course, all over gold flake finish.

Yes, I certinly don't intend building that sort of thing.  :headbanging:

Yeah, they look to be copies of the Grover Super Rotomatics, which will only fit a 3x3 headstock.
