I need someone in North East England who can make precision holes to fit a set of replacement guitar tuners in a block of aluminium which then screws into the top of my steel guitar. So if you are, or know a machinist, please get in touch

One of my favorite bits of Terminator trivia is that Flying Burrito Brother’s pedal steel guitar player “Sneaky” Pete Kleinow was responsible for all the stop-motion animation of the exoskeleton.
