  • Tuner trouble on DK2.

    I removed a tuner to clean out some gunk, and now it doesn't go back on right. The top of the post seems a bit higher than the others, and the bushing did not tighten fully, and now I can't even screw it off. Did I lose a part? I have the tuner assembly, the bushing and the washer. This is a DK2 from the era of with Duncan Designed and brushed chrome. Thanks.

    I'd start with a good, close look at the tuner next to it and compare. As far as not being able to screw it off now, that sounds like it may have gotten slightly cross-threaded? The tuner sitting higher than the others makes me wonder if there wasn't a spacer on the back side of the headstock to lower the tuner. Is this a guitar you got new or used? Did you notice any difference in the tuner compared to the others before this happened?

      It was working fine before I removed it. It is the post that just up higher and I notice the post has a "wear" line where it should be lower in the hole. There are no spacers in the back, just the one washers on top.

        OK, time to revisit this and settle it for once. I tried to fix it. For starters, did I break this tuner? Are these two parts supposed to be connected?

          Yeah the housing broke. Don't think any glue would fix that. I have 5 black lefty tuners that did that on a ps-4. Sucks man
          It's pronounced soops

            Thanks for confirming, now I don't have to mess with this anymore. Guess it's time to look for tuners.
