Looking for Machine heads for my Sho-Bud with the Gumby headstock. As close to stock as I can get.
Thanks

Please give more information about the tuning keys you want. I am looking at four different versions of tuning keys that Sho-Bud used with Gumby headstocks and I know there had to be more than that.
If you have the headstock, tell us the bore size and how the tuners mount as well as the model of the Sho-Bud.

Things to check are turning ratio, screw and post hole centers, bore sizes, post length from face of mounting surface, mounting thickness, finish. Hope I didn't forget something Smile

I do not know if you are looking for ten, or two, or whether you want the 18:1 or 14:1. I am still confused. But they are the common nickel Grover Rotomatics.

Buy them at StewMac or if you want two, go to Grotro.com. I have bought singles and pairs from them before.
