| I have a wound 6th string (G#) where an unwound was when i got my carter single 10. I cant seem to get the pedal or lever lower to tune in with this thicker string with the hex keys, what can i do about this? I am as far in as the nylon rods on the end want to go. |

I had the exact same problem. I went back to the original gauge strings my guitar came with from the factory. No more problem !!

| A wound sixth string takes considerably more travel to lower than a plain string. Some guitars can't do it. If you really like the wound sixth, as I do, you might consider raising the seventh string instead. |

Have you checked that the pull-rod for lower on 6th string is attached to the bellcrank as far from the axle as it can go?
Assure maximal rod travel for lower, and try again. |

Carters use a slave bellcrank on the plain sixth, to gear the movement down a bit.
If you use a wound sixth, bypass the slave crank, and go direct from the knee lever bellcrank to the changer finger. |
