Early - 19th C. - guitars were made with machines or friction pegs.
Those made with machines were more expensive. If you use pegheads on
one of these instruments, you have an expensive guitar masquerading as
a cheap one. I'll join Sterling at the vomitorium.

If your lute has shitty, ill fitting pegs then PegHeads might be fine,
but it seems that most lute builders know how to make pegs that work
just great. When I see PegHeads on early guitars with six strings I
seriously feel the need to throw up.
