In keeping with the constant search for headless guitar parts as well as alternative and DIY approaches, here’s Marcin Marynowski’s take on headless guitar tuning keys.

Next, we take a closer up look and see that each tuner fits into what is “simply a piece of square tube from a home depot store”.
Finally, these two photos give us an idea of the basic tuner assembly:
Thanks to Marin Marynowski for sharing his idea for guitar tuners as seen in his original guitar forum thread.
