Ultralite Clovers on a T-Bird
« on: March 08, 2009, 12:02:14 AM »
I remember someone around here or the Pit once put Hipshot Ultralite Clovers on their T-bird to replace the GB-7 Y keys. Does anyone remember how that worked out? I thought I remembered them saying that the tuners had to be angled slightly because the clovers were a little wider than the Y's.

I believe it was drbassman or Tbird 1958 were the guys that did that and it worked out OK.

That was me. I had a black T-Bird and replaced the stock tuners with black Ultralites. The E tuner had to be adjusted slightly askew to keep it from bumping the A tuner. You couldn't tell that much unless you knew about it or sat and studied it.

Ray, did that involve any extra drilling on headstock?

Don't remember if it was extra drilling or not, had my guy do it. Leaves a hole showing, though it's not that bad. I have a pic but only from the front sorry.....

Looking good gentlemen, and lady  ;) . I'm looking into getting a Natural Thunderbird, and I was trying to decide black or chrome. Since I have a chrome fetish, I might end up with the chrome ones and get a Hipshot Supertone in chrome too. Any ideas on black or chrome? I hope Uwe isn't reading this...

I think Flak (Which of course is an abbreviation (do I write that right?) is one of the more famous German words, used for ground to air fire internationally.

Uwe: FlugzegAbwehrKanone, basically "anti-aircraft-gun".
