I have had an FCGDA tuner instrument
on my mind for a long while and this is the test mule I have chosen
I will use Tyler Jackson as
the backside of this test mule.
I now have to find a way to
pay Cap Mike for it?
Oh well, he takes "Crabby Patties"
for payment.
I have one of the old "Chock full of nuts" coffee cans , they still
had the World Trade Center on them but not the new ones
I want the low tension tailpiece off for this
I'll use this style and drill out
Elton offset 2:1 geared tuner shot straight thru the peghead
Old nut filled and recut for 5 strings

The electric's work well and with the heavy F string it sounds nice.
I have Tyler on the phone coaching me how to use with the
F and I do see its potential.
I will work on making a new nut and bridge saddle to make for a
better tone but that will be it
We will see if an 008 or 009 will tune to high A on the 26" scale
but its nice with the 18 wound at the octave.
