Hey everybody! After quite a long hiatus and absolutely no practice on my steel I have totally forgotten how to tune my guitar. This particular axe has a pull-release system and uses a little screw next to the knee lever to tune the high open E string. But I can't remember what order to tune it in!
Is it 1) depress C pedal and tune with tuning keys 2) tune open E with knee lever screw and then 3) depress knee lever and tune with hex screws?
Or is it 1) depress C pedal and tune with tuning keys 2) depress knee lever an tune with hex screws and then 3) tune open E with knee lever screw??
Or none of the above? Several errors have caused me to break this particular string as I have been stretching it beyond capacity in my experimentations!! Thanks for your help! Boy I can't wait to get this thing fired up again!!!!

Yes, I know. I have been to Steel Guitar Purgatory and now I'm back!!
Actually, I keep breaking the string I'm trying to tune by experimenting with it so I was hoping to cut my losses by finding someone to help me!!! |

Hi Richard!
While you were out goofin' around I've been chained to the Fessy you sold me! I've played "Someday Soon" so many time on it that the thing runs and hides when I turn on the lights.
Good to hear from you and hope you get back into playing soon. Great to hear from you too, Missy. |
