Tuning a pull release guitar.

Just got my old stage one Zum back from someone who borrowed it several years ago to try to learn to play steel. I seem to recall a pull release tuning sequence posted here on the Forum and I wanted to try it out when I set the guitar up again. I didn't locate it after scrolling through several pages. Would appreciate any info someone might have. John

Email sent to you outlining the tuning procedure.

Raises tune with the white nylon tuning nuts.

Lowers tune with the allen screws above the tuner window in the endplate.

Hey Doug thanks for the response. I didn't get the email as it was an old email address I forgot to update. I've changed it in my profile but didn't get my membership reactivated right away. Could you please resend info. deboaltj@gmail.com. Thanks John

I believe this is the text Doug sent me a year or so ago but possible that's he's updated it.

Also, it turned out on mine a cross shaft was binding so check that also.
