Old guitar tuning pegs

  • 1 Devlogs

My mom had an old guitar from when she was in college. She got it at Sears, and it probably cost about $100, and it isn't too fancy. Last week I pulled it out of our basement because I'm going to camp this summer and I don't want to take a super expensive guitar to camp in case something happens. Unfortunately, when I pulled the guitar out of the basement, the strings were either rusted or missing, and some of the tuning pegs broke off. I can replace the strings, but before I can do that, I need new tuning pegs. I have a 3D printer, so I just designed them. I also added the string names because I always forget them. I don't know how compatible this is with other guitars because this is kind of a unique guitar despite it being so cheap, and the letters will more than likely be upside down on most guitars. Enjoy!

Ship #1 Changes requested

I made replacement tuning pegs for an old guitar. The hardest part was probably making sure that I had the letters inserted correctly to the sides of the tuning pegs. follow the instructions on the printables page, or in the README. they say the same things.
Have Fun!

I have this old guitar that’s kind of broken, and it’s missing some tuning pegs, so I designed some new ones in tinkercad. It took a while to get the measurements from the guitar, and I really don’t know if they actually are going to fit. I’m printing them now, so well find out in about 5 minutes. Also, thanks to Sunjot and Elliott-entity on Slack for helping me figure out how to make a devlog.

Update from 5 minutes later. - The tuning pegs work just fine, but if by some miracle they work on your guitar, it would probably be a good idea to glue them on with hot glue or superglue or something similar. I’m also going to camp for two weeks, and therefore won’t be able to do anything more until I get back. Check out the repository!
