Is there an easy way to make the half stop on my Carter's 2nd string tighter? I mean, I wan't it to be harder to "get past".

Also, what are a few good licks to use on the 2nd string with the full tone lower? What do you do with that change? I've normally stopped at D for a 7th chord. Haven't found a use for the C# yet. Of course, I haven't really looked for one either.

Lastly, how many of you raise the 1st and 2nd strings on the same lever? I only have the F# to G# on both of my F# strings. I was considering adding a G# lower to F# on the 6th string on the same lever. I had that on my 12-Sierra and liked it a lot. Seems a little redundant with the 7th string change though.
