Most people didn’t even know what cabinet drop was until electronic tuners came along. Don’t even worry about it, just tune and play. 😊

These are awesome guitars. I play a D-10 Magnum and have been for last 3 years. These aren’t starter guitars, I’d put them with anything for tone and play ability.. I like them better than the Car ...

Thanks Bill, yes I knew they were a collectors item but didn’t know 20k worth.

I don’t know anything about a Bigsby guitar but who would give 20k for that?
Also, if someone replaced the necks from aluminum to wood, looks like a great job. They even made the keyheads wood.

Thank you Norman, I tried that and it didn’t work but was able to fix. I just reset to factory default and it cleared the problem.

I have BnB 2014 and there’s a click track playing in background that I can’t find how to get rid of. It’s actually playing on 4 beat and has high hat in it. Muting the drums doesn’t stop it. ...

Don’t know where the word, hysteresis came from for steel guitar. Probably same place copedent came from. All guitars come back with C a little sharp, some more than others. It’s where the string ...

Full lowers on 6th work fine on a push pull with no notivable problem for B pedal. I’ve also got a tunable split on mine where A pedal raises it back a half tone. Doesn’t affect A pedal either.

I just never understood how Mark can do what he does and as many as he does with such perfection. Yes, he is the best.

Rich I'm curious if they would fit a MCI cross shaft

No they won’t, these are for the hex cross shafts

I don’t have a fix but I’m very puzzled that a fine guitar like a Mullen would have such an issue. I wouldn’t file on anything because something else wrong somewhere.

Thanks, George - I had a feeling as I was fitting it that there was a possible weakness in my master-plan.

I will get more nuts!!!

I believe the keyhead hole where string goes may have a burr or sharp edge somewhere.

Someone did an excellent job.😊

You just need to move your collar on your 8th string in, closer to changer so it can push it further. It should have a compression spring on it too.

...I forgot the link...

Here's one with Jimmy Day...

I commonly use a single edge razor blade to do it as the snap ring pliers often result in the snap ring flying off.

Jerry, I can’t remember what SKH axle does, if it’s just pressed in or goes all way thru.

I’m with Mike also. Do not destroy a nice D-10 for a few lbs. Too much of it going on already. Probably not in my lifetime but if people keep doing it, nice old D-10’s are going to be hard to find ...

Al Petty had something very similar way back in late 80’s. Not only could you change pitch on a string but had neat great sounding instruments like sax and piano. I don’t think you could change tu ...

Don’t know the thread size Jerry but I’ve done at least one ShoBud I know of. Was a super pro and I just found size that the little deal that goes on end and worked fine. Have done several Emmons.

All you have to do is cut to proper length, then rethread them. I bought a little die set at Harbor freight. They don’t have to be rolled. I’ve done many that way. You will need a vice.

It’s going to be a heavy flying object whether it’s in a case or not I don’t think mine would fly anywhere. Its legs are tied down with heaven bungee cords. And I usually don’t gig in snow sto ...

I agree Tommy, I really don’t carry mine that way to save time as I’m always at a gig early and have plenty time but I do it because as a whole, it makes it so much easier in all aspects, weight a ...
