fleabag Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Well, we can assume that a Bonobo with a pipe wrench did the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Don't think there's any mystery about this. The truss adjuster's buggered and has been horribly bodged with something that appears to have dropped out of a bus engine, and the tuner positioning is a result of a half-arsed attempt to do a 3x1 arrangement using a standard inline head shape & unsuitably small machine heads. If they'd just moved the G tuner up a few cm they could've avoided that worrying break angle altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about the mess surrounding the nut? Looks like it was glued back on using wood putty! Also, why do none the strings have a straight angle to any of the tuners?

They didn't - don't think Hohner ever made anything other than harmonicas & squeeze boxes! This'll be made by Cort in Korea, and is a bit of a cheapo, tbh. However I'm pretty confident it never left the factory with the nut & truss adjuster looking like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
