I have an LDG that out of the blue won't lower my e's. Everything looks ok. Any idea's what to look for?

A new steel? Ha-ha....
Is your knee lever pulling the changer? If so, I have no idea why it's not pulling the 4 and 8. If it's not pulling the changer (if the nylon tuners are not moving in and out), check your lever's connection to the pullrods. It has to be a knee lever problem, if it's out of the blue. Your changer wouldn't suddenly seize up on the 4 and 8 only, and tuning wouldn't change that drastically right away.
I'm sure many more knowledgeable people will chime in here. In the meantime, I would look under the guitar and see if the lever is doing its job of pulling the changer. |

| That happened on my Pro III at a gig when a ball end from a broken string fell into my changer. I totally freaked out, but as I was trying to see what was wrong, I apparently freed the ball end from wherever it was stuck. I saw it fall out, and everything was fine from then on. |

| If it's the newer model LDG with the pot metal undercarriage, the lever that activates the cross rod may be cracked or broken. I had a Super Pro do that a few years ago. |

The lever lowers the string but not to pitch. Tried moving the stop ,but no change.
