This was a fine old guitar, but it had a LOT of playing time on it.

I'm curious to know if this issue was ever resolved.

It might be that the 4th string changer is gummed up and not being allowed to pivot and could be dragging the lowering finger with the raise. I would suggest observe the changer fingers and see if only the raise finger is moving away from the stop. If both are moving forward I would remove the string and the lower return spring and manually move the raise finger while holding the lowering finger back and see if it works freely, if not, you might be able to try to free it up either by cleaning or perhaps just with oil and work it back and forth until it is freed up. You should consider all the other suggestions but if they fail it would not hurt to try this one.

| One more thing- I've had those spacers freeze up on the pull rods and that can cause some headaches trying to figure it out- solved by removing them and cleaning~ |

Glad you checked in, Chris.
There's lots of good info here. Most of us could nail it down pretty quickly if we had the guitar here in front of us. Hands-on, diagnosis is rarely terribly elusive. It is more often than not something fundamental and fairly easy to remedy. |
