allen key holder on back of headstock?

[Dave Goodland]

Does puting an allen key holder on back of headstock increases the chance of wood splitting or altering the guitar in any way?

The allen key holder is the little thing you screw into the back of your headstock and it 'holds the allen keys'.

I've never had any problems with one. Im sure you could glue it on if you were really worried about it...

There was another thread about this recently...

I have a couple that stick onto the back of the headstock with two-sided-tape, thus eliminating all doubt about screwing up your headstock.

My BFP is a '91 and has one on there - I don't know when it was put on, but it's still hanging tight.


It's called a 'Trem Tool' and it was about $4.95

Mine was supposed to attach via screws, but i used double-sided tape.

[John Finn]

where can you actually buy one?

[kennydoe]

There's a local shop here called Murphy's Music that has them.

i have a few guitars with the allparts one screwed in. that one holds all 4 allen wrenches. much better than the one where the allen wrench is a "T" type tool. That ones tends to fall out, and you only have 2 allen wrenches. i usually will cut the screws shorter, or just use shorter screws. no problems at all. the holes from the tuning pegs and locking nut are much bigger, so i wouldn't worry about 2 tiny screws. but, if you can double-sided tape it, all the better.
www.allparts.com if you wanna check it out. but i don't know if they deliver to australia. :-).
