Tuning problem

[Thomas Withrow]

Ok here is my issues. I bought a D10 msa classic and I don't play c6th neck so I stripped all the back kneck mechanics off the guitar and converted to sd10. Took all the c6th stuff and another cheap guitar that I bought and built a guitar. Everything is mounted and the tone is amazing but I can only get the 8th string to lower correctly. The 4th and 6th string lower will almost get to pitch and then the raise finger starts moving trying to raise the pitch back up. The 2nd string lower I don't care how much you turn the nylon tuner the string will only lower so far and no more. I'm sorry for the long post but I have tried every bellcrank and changer hole combinations with no luck and need some help with this issue. Is there a difference in a e9th changer and c6th or am I missing something any and all help is appreciated. Cause everything thing works flawless on my msa with the same setup.

Come on guys 16 views and no answers don't feel dumb cause I sure do but surely someone has had this problem I mean hopefully it's not just me and I am going to be alone to try and figure this out

Close it up I found the issue the return springs were just a tad on the stiff side

Since larger strings move less in tuning to the same note. Loosen the 8th string tuner nut, Work on the 4th string adjusting stops, pull and return springs till it tunes. Then go to the 8th string and tune it.
Good Luck and back Happy Steelin.

Georg, there's much written about basic set-up in a stickie post, Overtuning and undertuning..." but your post is the first place I've seen the actual procedure laid out. Thanks, Georg, Thomas and all.
