don't, that's a silly idea. all that weight will make the thing neck-heavy, and acoustics don't need locking keys anyway.

What are you trying to accomplish, or what deficiency are you trying to overcome?

Actually I'm trying to make it easier to string the guitar, although I'm reconsidering because I really don't have any real tuning problems surprisingly with this guitar. For a 35 year old guitar it stays in tune quite well. I just have this obsession with changing stuff on my guitars. I really need to get over that!!
