However, we are coming into a new era with people doing different manners of monetary transactions.Įssentially, we'll no longer require anyone to be tied to Paypal only people can now use whatever payment they want, but we want to let people know they are on their own. In the past, we had required people to use Paypal to head off attempted fraud, which has been a concern for many years. Whilst you're diagnosing, always tune flat first then bring it up to pitch - that will take care of issues caused by cheap and nasty tuners.Please note that effective immediately we have updated the Emporium Rules for payment options.
You can also lubricate the saddles with nut sauce, or even switch them out for Graphtech saddles which are self lubricating.Ĭheap tuners are a nightmare with a guitar that has tuning issues because they have slack in them that makes them erratic in use, so if you're constantly having to retune you don't want cheap tuners adding to the experience - however, I've yet to find a tuner cheap enough that you can actually turn the gear by pulling the string against it. Speaking of tuning, if the string is pinching badly then the same thing can happen any time you tune anyway.įirst up, look at the existing saddle slots: they should be U shaped, not V shaped and the string shouldn't sit low in the slot - half way in is enough to keep them in place.
It will balance itself out but by that point you've already tweaked the tuning so when it does ease back to the original point it will end up sharp. With guitars that have a trapeze tailpiece, there's a lot of string between the bridge and tailpiece and that can cause tuning issues when you bend the strings: as you bend them you drag the string over the saddle and if the slot is cut incorrectly then it can pinch the string so that the balance of tension before and after the bridge is not what it was before, causing the string to sound flat. If we trust the the tech has done a good job with the nut, that leaves the saddle to look at. Before you start spending money, the two points that are most likely to be the owners are the nut slots and saddle slots.
