My guitar is totally in tune (according to my tuner). But I am not happy with the tightness of the 1st and 2nd strings. They seem very loose. Ive messed about trying to get these right and my tuner says they are spot on. Has anybody else come across this problem?
Can You Help ?
have you checked the tuneing pegs? are they secure, there are two adjustments one on the back of the headstock that secures the machine head to the headstock (at least 2 screws) and i screw into the tuneing peg itself so theres no play in the peg when you turn it not all machine heads have this feature
Thanks Rus, In a roundabout way you have helped. The machine heads are fine but your answer helped with the logic of tightening the strings. 1E is sorted,just have to sort out 2b but fustratingly close. Maybe sometimes you have to trust your own ear.
