I personally don't see anything wrong with it, it's just what we're used to with guitars. You might be able to wrap them the other way, and get it to work that way. If it still bothers you, just replace them with the opposite hand tuner.

Just tell everyone who asks that you intended to do it that way...

You know, quite frankly I havent paid attention to witch way my tuners wind. I did learn that the tuning peg needs to be on the nut side so the string pressure pulls the peg gear into the worm gear. Providing that is correct, it shouldnt matter witch way they wind....But this is just Redneck Logic

Just remeber that an amatur makes mistakes, a pro has already made them all, so you're one more step on the way to being an expert (which I'm definately not).

I like the binding, makes it look like a buscuit :o)

Nah, well... I build and sell but not like some of the big ones here. I have a profession but its not luthierie.

Mistakes?!? There are no mistakes. Creative accidents [grin]. Zen method of building -- let the wood tell you how it should look.

LOL...I have had some happy accidents, and some not so happy. But, yea, I agree with the majority. If it works, and you are not all that upset about it, then it is not an issue.

If the tuner winds the wrong way, then just turn your fingers the other way!!! :-)

I have built motorcycles, a hot rod pickup truck, decks,and many other things. Never made a mistake. Just creative building techniques. Some times that BS flew, and sometimes not. On winding the tuners, I have built two cbgs and both are wound differently. No problem. I still can't play them.
