Gotoh sealed tuners on KC Jaguar - Help!

sunburstjag

Hi,

I hope someone can help..

I've been getting alot of buzz coming from the gotoh tuners on the KC Jaguar. I've tracked the problem down to the washers that sit between the headstock and the tuner bushing. The bushing seems to have lifted which has created a gap allowing the washers on 3 of the tuners to vibrate/buzz.

To fix this issue, is it just a simple job of tightening the bushing with a little spanner/wrench or is it not on a thread and should be hammered back in? I've never had this problem before so I'm worried i'll mess something up by adjusting/fixing it wrongly.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

just push them back in, or tighten them, and the buzz won't come thru when its plugged in, purely acoustic anyway. so... not a big deal.

don't worry, as long as you don't kill a few pints and partake in a lefty cig or two, you should be smart enough to do a decent job and not majoring destroy anything.

hey thanks for the advice. I've tightened them up now with my pliers. I'll know what to do in future now 😁.
