Machine head for electric guitar
Andybarbet - 10/10/09 at 03:40 PM

Im after one machine head for my 9 year old sons electric guitar.

I think it fits into a 10mm hole and the guitar head is about 12mm thick.

My ex wife decided to throw the guitar at her boyfriend and one of the machine heads snapped. !!

Have looked on ebay but they only seem to sell sets of 6 or want what i consider to be a stupid amount for such a simple thing. Im not sure the guitar is worth spending too much on but a shame its damaged and he cant use it.

Below is the type i am after if anyone has one laying around ??
Regards Andy

You can get Squier type for £12.50 a set. I'd fix the guitar then hit her round the head with it the thoughtless git.

Good advice there Pete

Might just do that - i mean, buy the squire ones from the bay

Cheers
