More DGT's please.........
Hello,
My B string tuning machine on my '08 DGT developed some "play" in it a while back. In other words, I could turn the button 3/4 of a turn or more and the machine would not move. It would eventually catch and move but it's not really accurate. Also, the "play" in it moves in both directions so raising and lowering the pitch can be a problem. As I use this guitar for live work, this is very frustrating.
I purchased a new tuning machine from PRS and..............the problem continued. I took the guitar to a local tech who has been one of the best in my area for nearly 40 years and he said he "put a extra washer in there". It worked better for a while (although it was stiffer than I would prefer) but now it's back to it's original state and driving me crazy. I bought the guitar new in '08 and I really consider it indispensable. I dig the guitar and consider it to be perfect in every way............except for the tuning machine on the B string.
If anyone has any suggestions or solutions, I'd really appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. Thanks very much.
Best regards,
