After re-stringing my guitar: when I press and release the RKL lever, my 6th string stays a little flat until i press my B pedal.
Where do I start to debug this?
Guitar is Mullen Discovery 3/4 E9 tuning |

Is RKL lowering your 6th string? This is a common problem called "hysterisis" - you can probably find some deeper threads discussing it if you search the forum here.
Practically though, the most straightforward way to combat this is to make sure your changer fingers and roller nut are properly lubricated and free of any debris. It's also possible that your return spring on 6 (if you have one) could use a slight tightening. |

| Loosing the nylon tuners, tightening the very loose return spring, and tuning it back up seemed to do the trick. thanks yall |
