Replacing 1 tuner
So, my Breedlove has one bad tuner - the B string. It sticks in the same place every revolution, and I'm afraid it's going to eventually snap. So, I emailed Breedlove and they sent me a tuner to replace it.
My first question is, if I fill the hole with toothpick and glue, should I wait a day for the glue to dry, or will string tension keep the tuner in place? My second question is, should I remove all the strings to keep the tension on the neck from being uneven while I'm waiting for the glue to dry? |
If Breedlove sent you an identical replacement tuner, where does the need of toothpicks and glue come from?
Remove string, remove and replace tuner, restring. What am I missing? |
I had always assumed it was better to fill the screw hole with some wood to give the screw something to bite. If I put the same size screw into a hole already reamed out to that size, won't it be loose?

Alright, thanks. I have some woodworking experience, but not a lot of guitar repair experience.
