Here is a little sneak preview of a build I am working on. She's called the 'Beast'. Could someone tell me how on earth I am supposed to put tuning pegs on her. I decided to just let the guitar design itself and since I work on a farm I just used what I found. Unfortunately most of what I found was cast iron. HELP!! I'm out of my depth.

    Use the pick points for sympathetic harp strings.

    Yep, I like that idea of tail mounted tuners and maybe a counter balance while you are at it?!

    what  dan said  ,

     or , add a  short fret board   that leaves  space  before  the pick  and    put  your tuners  there  .

      Can't you use the hydraulics off a 9N??? There should be some chain tensioners on your manure spreader or the bale elevator???

      Just funnin' with ya Rich!!  :-) Looks like a very unique build!!!

      Just noticed the Iceland part! You may not have too many 9N's over there!!!

    Put the tuners on the tailpiece instead. Put eyelets on the back side of the "headstock", and run the strings up and over the metal part.

      Good thinking. Have you seen any other builds with this format. Something I could copy.

      Thanks
