Photo of the previous poor repair job.
This photo was sent to me by the owner of the Strat after he'd acquired it.
Clocking headstock before trueing up holes to accept ferrels.
The holes on the front and rear of the headstock were eccentric to each other !
Out of pitch and out of true inserts machined out.
12.70mm was needed to clean up the holes. Holes were around 6.50mm depth.
