| Hello. I've been having some trouble with the tenth string on the C6 neck of my Sho-Bud Super Pro. It is the low C string, and I have it set up so the eight pedal lowers it to an A. It just doesn't stay in tune. I changed the strings a week or so ago. When I lower the string, it never comes back to C, and the string is not in tune anymore. I was just wondering if this was a change that is tricky to set up properly. Is it because it is such a thick string? Is this something where a helper string would matter, or do most people not even use one at all? I just don't know. I'm hoping someone has some more experience with this. |

When's the last time it got a drop of oil?
Does it return sharp or flat?

| If you can reach underneath and push the lower finger back to the stop, you might just need to screw in the return spring a turn or two. |

| this change is very common. most every c6 neck has it. so it should be fixable. |

| Stretch the string and keep retuning it until it holds pitch when you attempt to stretch and de tune it, than adjust the lower to pitch if necessary |
