How To Change Guitar Tuners

The different parts of a guitar neck have a specific role to play. Guitar tuners are a part of guitar neck that is attached to the tuning pegs so the pitch of a string can be lowered or raised. When you strum a chord and hear an un-soothing sound on the guitar then you may feel discouraged. This is sometimes because of incorrect technique, but most of the time it is because your guitar is not in tune.



You may try loosening and tightening the guitar tuning pegs, but still, the sound may feel wrong. It means you need you to need to change the tuners. Guitar tuners are useful for tuning the guitar to a proper pitch so it sounds good. Sometimes, these need to be changed to improve ropey tuning. So, how to change guitar tuners and which tuner to select.

Types of tuners and making a selection to replace these:

There are so many tuner choices that sometimes it becomes confusing to choose the ideal one. Unless you get the tuners of an exact same spec that you removed, you will have to make some modifications to install them perfectly. You may also need to enlarge the peg holes with drilling action to place a new set of tuners. It can be either enlarging the peg holes or drilling some additional mounting of holes This needs to be done carefully.

Tuners come in two different styles where one is the finished style and the other is classified as sealed machines.

Finished style machines include open back tuners where many replace the open back tuners with closed back tuners. Closed one does not collect dust and it is easy to clean them. With the help of a tuner bushing installer or remover, you can get the new tuners installed.
Vintage tuners can be identified easily with the help of press fit bushing. These bushings are pressed into the pig head and held in by friction. You will see vintage tuner installed in quarter-inch holes that have been placed into 11 30’’ peghead face so it can support the bushing. On an old Gibson guitar with such specs, if you do any modifications it can spoil the guitar. The impact can be negative on the guitar. So, for such guitars choose the guitar tuner buttons of exactly the same size. Original pig head bushings and screws should be used to the finish of the guitar should not be destroyed.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class.
