When shortening strings on steels with no spring adjustment.

I would recommend making a trial and error template first. It could even be cardboard.

Just try the G# First in case you need to remove all the strings if the g# still goes flat.

Do either of you two (or anyone else) think any of the manufacturers options might suit a lightweight S10 (body only) at 10kg (separate bag for additions).
Presumably it would need a suitable intern ...

Sorry - removing sentiment from the equation - but I can’t say any of those guitars look good.

A little bit of cutting oil will prolong the die and make the cutting easier.

You have the information you need to go to https://www.centuryspring.com/ and enter the parameters.

Thanks for that.

I might cut my own from a "Teflon"-like plastic.

Delrin (acetel) is very hard wearing - it is often used in bearings and nylon are options.

Most examples have the screw (which you have to replace with a grub type screw) are tapped on one side only. Using the threaded spacer option and drilling your own pass through hole mean you can lock ...

Tim. I’ve also seen the 6mm cable locks (8mm long) but the descriptions never indicate diameter of the cable hole. Do you have any in your possession to measure?

What do you mean by “runs”? Have you consider carbon fibre rod
Also add “solderless” to your search for the barrel

Stainless steel capillary tube is quite expensive is alum to bendy for you?

Well that’s the opposite of the shaft collar. The only thing that come close is a cross dowel barrel nut but the shaft hole is threaded and the is no locking grub screw end hole.

Hi JD

Hmm I like both ideas. G#>G AND G#>A#

How do split tunings work? If they can.

I know we are talking about extreme unevenness but the fundamental issue is four legs are never going sit well on even a slightly wonky stage. All PSGs and chairs need at least one fine adjustment le ...

With the sides higher than the fretboard it looks more like a showboat than a sho bud
The table is worth more than the PSG. That said is there ann underside view?

Yeah I thought it seemed too small too. Good idea about just using the tuners though. I’ll try that on mine. Sounds like general consensus is that the 22 wound string is the biggest troublemaker?

.02” (0.5mm) seems very small. I have never tried to accurately measure but 2-3mm seems more reasonable. So I’m in the JD camp. I actually use a screw as the tuner so it would the easy to measure ...
