The Fender Starcaster guitar had much shallower holes for the tuners

((( MUCH SHALLOWER ))))

I had to go size by size up to the point where the tuners would fit

When I got to the last size the top of the headstock of the Starcaster broke off!!









The guitar is ruined. I'm going to have to throw it away!!

I can't believe it!!!!

((( THE GUITAR IS RUINED!!! )))

Talk about reaching the don Juanian "Place of No Pity"

I was so shocked then angry I went right off all scales of being angry

All that was left was a calm, 'cold as the Arctic wind' type of peace


My only consolation is that the Fender Starcaster only cost me about $130.00

If you can call that a consolation. If this had happened to my ACTUAL Fender Stratocaster

...I don't even want to think about it!!!!!!!
For your information:
Expanding the size of holes in order to fit new tuners is a job for a drill press

((( NOT A HAND DRILL!!! )))

I found this out the hard way as I keep widening the holes



The job was proving to be sloppy and unispiring

When the top of the headstock of the guitar broke off

I was jolted into a profound state of inner-silence

I was so shocked I could not believe it!!!!

It was indeed the most mind-blowing event of the year!!



I hit rock bottom so fast. Well...it was quite an experience

One that I NEVER, EVER WANT TO REPEAT

NOT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!
