Guitar Tuner Knob Loose

Post by YTGTangerine »

I recently noticed this. The tuner knob on the low E string of my Telecaster is loose. Anyone know how I can fix it or tighten it?

What kind of tuner is it?

If its a stock telecaster, you should just be able to tighten it with a wrench.

My advice is to take it in to a small guitar shop. Trying to tighten/loosen that stuff by yourself will often make it worse, even possibly stripping the threads out. Small shops will generally not charge you if it's a small thing and they don't have to replace parts.
