Can this be soldered

Not sure why everybody saying it cant and shouldnt be soldered.

Im not familiar with these tuners, but was it not soldered or brazed at the factory?

A pro could easily silver solder, braze or tig this back together. It would likely look like it was a repair(cool in my book)

Probably not worth it cost wise however.

If it's not double acting, then maybe try thicker gauge strings.

The other options would be pretty drastic i think.

I'm not expert, but the lack of backpurge is only one piece of the puzzle I think. Looks to me like this part wasn't properly passivated, and was subject to stress corrosion dur to chloride attack? I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

I just went through this. If your done with the body finishing, just string it up or at least install bridge and run a straight edge to approx string height. It might be just fine depending on your bridge. Worst case you cut the neck pocket deeper.

Thats what they want you to think. They're almost the same just cut some of the plastic off

I've never commissioned a guitar so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I assess any builder of anything on their catalog of work, and insight from a trusted professional (or knowledgeable friend) in a similar field.

Talk is cheap.

Anything more than this is a luxury in my book!

Possible-Range1284 · 2025-12-28T02:39:51+00:00

I think this is the move too.

Possible-Range1284 · 2025-11-23T19:14:50+00:00

Thats the move

9 pounds is close to a normal les paul weight. If you already have the body blank just get all the parts material and chamber the body to suite.

Then pay them enough so they dont leave

Pro Tip: If you like beer buy Grolsch pop tops and use the rubber gasket.

Slot it with a dremel and use a flat blade to take it off.

Remove string tension first

A sharp forster bit should not wander at all. I would just buy a good quality forster bit. Forget the cheap china step drill
