Were the pearloid tuner buttons original? I have a guitar that looks mostly identical but has standard metal tuner buttons. | |

Odd behavior for sure. Must be a changer, finger, scissors issue. Which era of MSA do you have?
Make sure there's nothing in there such as a string ball end or other obstruction. It's an MSA Cl ... |

Thanks, the strings have been breaking at or behind the nut. I don't think it's either an issue with the strings or the nut. It's that somehow the exact same setup that produces a half tone raise with ... | |

Thanks Wayne,
I guess the bend in the middle of the rod shouldn't have been there and ultimately led to it failing. But it also looks as though the ends were intentionally bent around to fit into t ... |

John's user name on that forum is "johndavisstringshere" or something like that. He's a top bloke -- he did loads of work to get my MSA up and running and charged way too little for it. | |
