Drilling the Headstock for tuners

Post by Benjy »

Is there a template to drill the headstock for the tuners. Are they just in a straight line 1/2" from the edge and 1 5/8" apart? I have a Martin Dred Kit and the tuners are Martin and they measure 25/64"

Perfect! I noticed that the turners were not in a straight line on my DX1AE. That makes sense now. Great video also. I search YouTube for your video's before I ask a question. I just missed that one.

Thanks AGAIN!

I am getting closer, I can't wait to start the paint process!
