Title: Koa Spoiler
Post by: hammer on August 04, 2012, 09:09:49 AM

A nice looking Koa Spoiler just appeared on ebay with a reasonable ($1,000) starting bid. Strange alignment of A tuner. It might not have any functional impact, but given my personality, that dang thing would just bother me to no end.

Looks like it just spun out of place - I'm guessing you could loosen the tuner a bit, back out the retaining screw a hair, turn it to the right position, and tighten.

Some Spoilers had a narrow cone headstock where the tuner mount holes had to be filed in order for them to fit opposite each other. The screw holes aren't complete circles, and I had one that did this as well. I just lived with it, but you may be able to put in a bit fatter of a mounting screw to hold in place better.
