tuning machine/head

[sirjaz1]

hello fellow ernie ballers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am obviously new to this forum.
i am really frustrated trying to find parts for my ball.
a silhouette special.i have found and bought the white pearloid pickup guard with gold screws, gold trem,and would like to get the tuning machine heads in gold with pearl/black buttons.
4/2 configuration.do i really have to buy two sets like the bonehead at the local gc wants me to do?
please help.and thanx for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!

To get them to all spin in the right direction,yes, he's right, two sets.

thanx ebb sould!!!!!!
that is what i was trying to avoid.
so i guess no co. can supply the 4/2 configuration huh.that really blows big chunks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ernie ball must have a deal with schaller or something, no way a company would order 2 sets for eveyguitar, unless the spare tuners over time worked out into even sets or something.......can't imagine how they would tho. i should have paid more attention it math class.

 

[ebb soul]

Perhaps there is enough left hand guitars to make up the difference.

 

[sirjaz1]

thanx you guys.
ebb & estin.

i'm actually left handed myself, but when i started playing *5 years ago* i couldn't afford a left handed starter guitar so i learned righty and have played that way ever since. to me it actually makes more sense for lefty's to play the right handed guitars and righty's should play the left handed guitars. because being a lefty my left hand is my dominate hand, so on a righty guitar all the fretting is done with the left hand.......... make sense to anyone or am i loosing it?

Steve Morse is left handed.

Holly Sh.. I never thought about that???

HMMMMMMM well I see your point. I play hockey lefty but golf, baseball and guitar righty!?!?!?!?!? I guess it's all in the feeling............

Just pulled out my trusty calculator. For every 9 right-handed guitars, EBMM would have to order 6 right hand sets and 3 left hand sets from Schaller.

If they wanted to account for left-handed models, and we assume that 1 out of 9 people are left-handed, then they would purchase 29 right-handed sets and 17 left-handed sets. This would yield 5 lefties and 41 righties, which is close to the correct right/leftie ratio.

This way, they wouldn't have any left over.

(Yes I have too much time on my hands today!)

I contacted Ernie Ball directly through email. You can purchase tuners from them for $12 a piece.

Get a hold of their customer service department.
