Steel Guitar Builder

Hey D Don
I have some Emachineshop files of the changer I built and now use on my "Rebel" steel guitar, below if you are interested.

I use the small masonary nails from cable clips, for the string posts. the ones 2mm in diameter, they are very hard, Stuart

By the way Bent, the other design with the slotted nut was made by Karlis Abolins from Washington I believe,

Hi Mac The way I got round the problem(after you advised me to make the return springs adjustable) was to make my own threaded inserts, quite easy really. You need springs wound in the right direction though, so that a regular bolt will screw into the end of the spring having first cut it to length....
