Local music store guy told me no more tuning keys like I need are available on the market. He wants to drill extra holes in my headstock. I rufused and he thinks I’m a twit.

Also on the front of the headstock, most guitars have a nut holding the machinehead. Mine was round and smooth, not a nut. And the cretain lost it! There is now a gaping hole!!!!!!

    I am sure that there are replacements available. First, go to a reputable repair shop and have them look at it, If someone is losing pieces of your vintage guitar, well thats a sign.. I wouldn’t let him change my strings let alone drill on it! If its not a name brand you may have to have someone drill new holes, as exact replacements may not be available. But you were smart in refusing to let them drill away on it. Use the internet, call shops, tell them exactly what you have.
