Title: Tuner Help Needed
Post by: brimc76 on April 19, 2006, 07:48:59 PM

I still have trouble with a couple of the tuners being stiff on the 12th Fret Custom OM3rSH that I bought and I was wondering if there was anything I could put on them (a drop of oil) to stop them from binding? They aren't really binding it's just that a couple of them are stiff to the point that I'm afraid of snapping the ebony ends off of them. I was going to change the strings tonight so if there is anything I can do at the same time please let me know.
Thanks for the help.

I assume the 'SH' in your model refers to a slot headstock. If so, you probably need an adjustment of gears on the tuners. Each has a screw in the center of the gear. Just back the tension off slightly. Should fix your problem.

Yes it is a slot headstock with a screw in the top of each tuner. Thank you for such a quick response - I actually have the old strings off and just came back to check the responses to my post. Wonderful people here, thanks again for your help.
Now to find a small screwdriver!
