Hey Trevor, what diameter planetary pegs do you use for a classical guitar?
Thanks, Scott

I've used 9mm and 7mm They are both geared 4:1 but the 7mm gives you greater mechanical advantage because of the smaller diameter post. Otherwise, not much to chose between the two. The ones that feature on my website (and in the book) are all 9mm (I think!).
