Fender Klusons, 6-on-a-side? Just a little Sawzall work to the headstock, and you're all set.

I think clear acrylic tuner buttons with little scorpions in them would be cool for Russell. That would give a don’t touch my guitar vibe to his Goodall. I might want those for my guitars.

It's always a pleasure and an education to watch Marty at work. There's nothing like extensive experience, the right tools, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous parts and pieces to solve a problem. I learned something about the internal anatomy of tuning machines and why little magnet-base bowls are handy to have around. And the Goodall is spiffed up with ebony buttons and (more important) tunable again.

So, no scorpions, then?

Nice.
My Huss and Dalton OM came with Schaller mini tuners with ebony buttons like those. Of the other guitars that live here, the Schaller minis are the most accurate and reliable, and even tend to beat out the Waverly open-back machines on my dreadnoughts.
