Guitar Tuning Machine
torque required for tuning guitar strings?
Hello, do you know the estimated torque required to turn the machine heads for an electric gibson les paul?
Lots of variables here. The torque required will increase as the string is tightened, and will change by the gauge of the string as well. Also, the age of the tuning machines will play into it. I would suggest an inch-pound torque wrench and a uni-socket. This type socket has individual spring loaded pins internally, and will fit virtually anything, including a machine head. I own both, but I have a Gibson Explorer. Might be interesting to try it with the 8 gauge set I use, for kicks. And to test the torque per string per octave of tightening......
