For a second I thought it was Nebulous selling his. Best of luck with the sale, it's a damn sexy lookin guitar.
Well they're locking tuners and I'm afraid I'm going to break the locking post if I try doing that. Also the nut slot would need to be filed wider. I'm sort've afraid to attempt all this stuff and I can't afford to be spending money for other people to do it for me right now
If you fully unscrew the locking post (as in, pull the thing out) , you won't touch it when you start filing. Also, if you wrap a high grit (fine) piece of sandpaper around the string and use that to widen the nut, you should be fine.
I just hate to see a guy sell a gorgeous guitar like that because he can't get it setup to his liking without dropping some more cash on it!
Don't some people just do it using an old string too? Not that I have experience in it....
