Well, you can sort of do the same thing by putting one hand in front and one in back of the headstock, and passing the string end through the slot, over the shaft from the front and under from the back, then through the hole after 2-3 passes. No, not as easy as just winding it around the post of a solid headstock, but it is better than endlessly turning the tuner button. Also makes it easier to let you put the windings on the inside or outside of the hole depending on which gives the string a straighter pull to the nut.
Anyway, it works on the Waverley on my Huss & Daltons.
