Guitar tuning peg grease caps

thingiverse

I had to use a lot of tuning screw grease on my guitar, so I designed this little shield thingies to hide it from view. Try it out on your guitar, and see if these fit - I think the size is standard issue. UPDATE 2: I redesigned them so that the holes are on both sides now, and I even fixed up some of the corners for extra durability. I started having issues with tuning screws getting stuck and squeaky noises, so I decided to use a consistent type of lubricant called solideol to keep it running smoothly. I applied it pretty thickly, too, just to make sure there wouldn't be any further wear and tear. But, of course, using solideol was also a big risk of getting my fingers all greasy and messy - plus the fine powder would just make a mess out of itself if it got stirred up in there. To prevent this whole grease debacle from happening, I came up with an idea for little caps to cover the gear mechanisms. These covers fit right onto the tuning pegs where the string wraps around, and they're designed so that you can see them through the cut-out on top - no messing about needed here! If I'm being honest, the sizing is pretty standard for this type of system, but hey, at least I thought so! If anyone sees fit to translate my Russian language rantings into good ol' English, then great - go for it.
