All, Legrandes I've come in contact with.Long or short key head. Return 5 to 10 cents sharp when the B's are lowered to A. All keyed guitars I've played will do this to some degree. The CARTER being the exception, maybe 2 cents on this change. Not a problem. But anything over 5 cents drives me nuts. There is nothing you can do About it without doing a big no no..I think I'm the only guy that does this. Anyway. I won't even get into it.I would have to spend the weekend defending myself. But it works for me. You can clean the roller nut,make sure the string is lined up. Oil the changer till the cows calfves come home. But that won't fix the problem.
Anyway, The guitar needs lower return compensators to do that change and return to pitch. ..bb |
