I had an older Marlen that I think had keyheads like you describe. I have included a picture. It might help if you can post a picture of yours.

Bent, what tuning keys do you use?

Thanks Bent, that's what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure.

I am thinking about changing the key heads on my GFI student so I can go to better tuners. They are 1/2" x 3/4" bars. What would be the best type of aluminum to use? I probably will polish them instead of painting them crinkle black like GFI did.

Same thing, a place holder...

I did a search, it appears to be http://www.emachineshop.com/.
Blacksb21 you might confirm that to us...

"e-machine.com" goes to a website place holder, not a website...

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice!

How's 007 coming along?

What about something like the "Flush-on-both-Sides" countersunk rivets or the "Tamper resistant two piece" rivets?
