David, That's great. I wondered where it went. You got a good guitar. After I took the changer apart and sanded between the fingers with some emory cloth it worked great for me also.They were a little to tite. I would probably still have it had not been for wanting a Rittenberry.

One of the best built guitars on the planet . I've owned 3 Derbys in the past and currently still own one of those . I've never had any trouble with a Derby guitar . Great tone and stays in tune .

Ihave played Derby guitars since 1993. I have never had any problems, they stay in tune and have great tone.

In my opinion,
Most of the problems owners have with all brands of modern steel guitars is usually caused by old strings, inability to tune or perceive what is in or out of tune, and tweaking things that don't need tweaking.


BTW.. the next time a nice unmolested Derby SD or D10 comes up for sale please do not buy it.. give Roger or me a chance lol :lol:
