So whatever happens, with either neck, tuners are a problem.
.
I haven’t made sure that the tuners are spaced in a non-standard or non North American standard way, but they are on the old Framus six string guitars, and I will. The wheels, the cogs are worn out and they are on all
my old spares too, or it’s a different attachment from wheel to post, and modern wheels are too big, don’t fit between the tuning handle and the post.
.
I guess that answers the spacing question, doesn’t it, if one is smaller, six are smaller too.
.
Framus sells replacement sets, €124, I think it said, so $200 CDN plus shipping, I think that will probably be the only option other than just living with them stiff. I don’t ever want to pay that, but certainly not for Schrodinger’s guitar, I’ll wrestle with that cost if it’s going to work at all.
.
Bought the black paint, the pick guard will be cool.
