GFI headless

When puting on a new third string on the E9th neck the string would begin to slip
when it was brought up to pitch. I removed the hold down screw and it was worn smooth
under the head. Got a replacement screw at the hardware and now no more slipage. the screws are threaded all the way to the cap and thats what give it the bite to hold the string. Quick, easy inexpensive fix to a fustrating problem. Wanted to pass this
along in case any one is having similar issues.

Thanks for the info. I have not had a slippage problem, but will keep what you said in mind. I will check out the screw though the next time I change my set of strings. I'd say the next time I change a string, but the last 2 sets I had on for 3-4 months and I'm amazed I didn't lose any separate ones during that time. I'm going to go practice and probably break a string now that I've said that.

I bought a box of replacement screws a few years ago -- for a different reason. Since I was changing so often becuse of touring and wanting to make sure I had no breaking during a show, I was wearing out the philips head on the screw.
