Swap it with one from a thicker string. The failing tuner will be able to hold a thicker string. This almost always works.
Great idea. Much appreciated
The same could be said for Rickenbacker, no?
Not really but they do certain things in a particular way.
Neck off and run water thin super glue under the edges of the damage. You could then build up the missing paint with black superglue. Then mask off the existing paint and shape the repair. For a good finish you would need to airbrush satin 2k over the immediate area. Sunburst it in to the surrounding paint.
What are your thoughts on Rickenbacker quality? I generally like really innovative modern guitars, but there is something about the look of Rickenbackers that I’m drawn to.
Have you considered therapy?
If I ever got one, it would have to be a 12-string. The playability of a Rick is quite different from what I’m used to…
The 12 string is horrible to play and worse to string up. The head is so badly designed that strings actually touch it on their way to the tuner. It also has the strings spaced in a way that makes it feel like it’s a neck full of single strings not paired.
Oh how wish I hadn’t sold the white Steinberger GL4-12 I used to have
Hi thanks.
Fret sprout is a once only nothing problem that should not bother anyone. This actually has nothing to do with it and would not prevent it. It would be even sharper on a neck cut like this.
Got it. Just to make sure I understand...it wouldn't prevent it because the sharp edges you feel along the fingerboard after fret sprout happens are the frets themselves and not the tangs?
Both but still there.
