Shaggy Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Afternoon all.... I suspect that there is no solution to this particular problem, but putting it out there just in case anyone smarter than me has done the same mod and found a fix Recently fitted a Hipshot Gotoh GB7 de-tuner to my Warwick Streamer; I'm fond of these gizmos as I don't get on with 5 strings but occasionally need to play drop-D tuning. The problem is that due the typical Warwick arrangement of the tuners being raked backwards towards the player, when the lever of the D-tuner is released, it hits the body of the G string tuner before the E string has fully detuned down to D (see 2nd pic). One fix I guess would be to re-align the tuners to the conventional "straight out sideways" position, but I really couldn't do that to a Warwick! The Gotoh GB7 is the correct type (that I assume Warwick copied theirs from), but would a different Hipshot model maybe work? Thanks! Greg Quote
