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.

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.

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

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.

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.
