Really neat to hear the logic and see the process behind these custom tuning pins. Fantastic looking and certainly they must make the guitar have better tone!

Hey Mark,
I for one am following along and soaking this up like a sponge. Thanks for taking the time to go through some of your processes. Your attention to detail and use of wood amazes me. Not to mention your photographs. Thanks Travis |

Wonderful stuff, Mark--thanks for all the insights into your process!
All these awesome little details combine to truly make your guitars the works of art that they are! I really hope to get to play one some day...

Mark,
Thanks for sharing all of the background on your design thoughts and processes. While I find all of your threads fascinating and inspiring, I found this part to be even more inspiring. I'm going to take a crack at some wood tuner buttons as I've always liked using wood ones but have been limited by what's commercially available for the 510s. Many thanks for taking the time to make all of these great posts. |

It's the myriad of little touches that you add that helps make your creations so special. Tuner knobs are a good example of this, something you wouldn't normally expect, but they contribute to completing a perfect look.

Really fine work and such creativity. I down load many of your pics to my inspiration file.
I would like to see how you make that brass ferrule and I am curious how you treat the recess in the peghead where the tuner washers rest. Do you finish those surfaces so that the washers are over the finish, or is that area bare with washers resting on wood. Ive tried it both ways and was not really satisfied with either.

The recess is finished. My reasoning is dust doesn't build up as easily in the recess when it has finish.

I can imagine that you must feel a little bit of frustration, knowing what you have when you purchase a special set like this and then having to wait until someone decides that they want you to build with it. Likely this is mitigated somewhat by your builds in general. Still, it must be an itch that you really can't scratch at times ... lol 😎

The list of guitars and wood sets I would love to build with is growing faster than how fast I build guitars. I hope to keep it at this pace till the day I die. What could be better than that? Thank you for commenting Mark
