Thickness of the head

[RickT]

I have one question as I have not yet received my Minstral Banjo with the standard head.
How thick is the wood where the pegs go through. Also, is it the same thickness where the short sting goes through?
Contemplating putting machine heads on in. Ill start with the wooden ones but I have access the a set and I want to know if the thicknesses will match?

Hey Rick, thanks for your order and it will be out by the end of the week.
The peghead is 1/2” +/-1/16”
Machine tuners can be done and there are a few examples from customers posted on this forum I believe.
The peghead tuners should be easy, might have to drill a larger hole for the tuners.
Will have to get creative to get a geared tuner to fit the neck at the fifth string.
