Jamesemt Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I fitted a drop D a couple of weeks ago. Whenever I drop the tuning peg and then click it back up it goes slightly out of tune. The second time I do it the tuning goes way out... Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
