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. 😊 | |

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. |

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 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. | |
