TPJ Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Hi Daz. Have you tied the string around the tuning machine and wrapped it around enough? Sounds as though it's slipping. I know it sounds quite obvious but just checking. Otherwise it might be a duff string. Edited September 13, 2009 by TPJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
