Ibanez doesn't seem to sell replecements and I don't want to mess up the thumbscrew using plyers. (The guitar has been in a closet for awhile and I was thinking of selling it but I like playing it again).

A GB10 with thumbscrews on the tuners would be fairly old. What's the "thingy", a set screw that would tighten the thumbscrew? A closeup picture of the tuner would be very helpful. If you don't know how to upload pictures, you could send it to me in an email message and I'll post it.

I'm at work right now but will post a picture of it when I got home to-night.

There is a small hole in the thumb wheel, but it looks like just a hole. I actually thought there would be a small set screw in there, but no...nothing. Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 10:27 pm:    My 82 GB10 does not have tuners with thumb wheels but my MC200 does. Here are the pictures with the piece of paper that was in the plastic bag that the "thingy" came in.
