Found that I only needed to drill out to 11/64 for them to fit - hardly any cuttings when running the bit through on my drill press. Used the white rings on the upper side and the natural socket on the back of the head. Had to trim the screws about 1/8&Kurt Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911231518943356716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871953083240500888.post-17314557217603387892015-11-08T14:15:43.171-05:002015-11-08T14:15:43.171-05:00Kurt, I have yet to replace any tuners.

I wonder if you could use white pegs and blacken them with some dye (or a black magic marker)?Bobby Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736553524460057069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871953083240500888.post-73624423463058460792015-11-06T20:36:33.513-05:002015-11-06T20:36:33.513-05:00Which pegs did you use?

Tell them the Dixie is chrome plated aluminum. They can drill it out on a pro drill press at the proper speed and size.<br /><br />Good luck!Bobby Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736553524460057069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871953083240500888.post-73164615226128807052015-02-11T06:16:20.973-05:002015-02-11T06:16:20.973-05:00I would be interested to hear if anyone has reamed...I would be interested to hear if anyone has reamed out or redrilled the holes on a Dixie headstock to take larger tuning pegs.

I wasn't able to find new pegs that fit either so I got the holes drilled out. So, I now have a tuner that i could sell if anybody needs it. Email me at ashtonw@hotmail.com if you're interested.

I saw one of the new 3D printers the other day which it seems would have no problem "printing" one of the pegs. It's interesting that your black ones have held up. I wonder if that has to do with the type of plastic they're made from -- or if they're newer. <br /><br />Have youBobby Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736553524460057069noreply@blogger.com
