Review The Magnistop Half stop Feel

Post by Paul E Vendemmia »

Review of the Magnistop Half Stop
I'm reviewing Both of the Magnistop Half Stop feel tuners. As a builder and repair man for many many years. I've worked on many of the spring type 1/2 stop tuner and most work OK, But some people still have trouble getting the feel of the 1/2 stop. And that's because of the spring operating feel of the half stop you never realy feel where to stop your always a few cents off one way or another. You get Close at best. But Now there is a better half stop feel by Magnstop it's a mechanical feel instead. So you feel a stop then a click. And it's amazing ! and it really works. And is much better at tuning. This is the design of Hans Holzherr. I think he's a genius. This product was so well thought out. The machining work is 2nd to none I was blowed away when I open the box. The Instuction sheet is so well written with pictures that anyone should be able to install one. And it comes with all the parts you need for any guitar. Hans sent me one for my all pull and one for my push pull and both work great. well wroth the money. The push pull one is not in production yet but should be soon.

Thanks Hans Hozherr
