hamerjunkie Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just started to work on the SS1 that was my gift to myself this Christmas. Everything is good on it, except 3 fine tuners are stiff and tight, with the one on the B string only moving about a turn or so. I used some of the penetrating oil we use at work (PB Blaster), and it helped, but it`s still not as free as I would like it. I`m looking at two options right now:1 trying to back out the fine tuner completely, and cleaning up both threads with a tap and die set that I have access to.2 get another baseplate with the fine tuners on it from Schaller, they have always taken care of my needs and problems from Germany. It would have the Schaller logo on it, but it`s an upgrade IMO.Any of the HFC Brothers have a fix for this? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Junk the baseplate - you'll thank yourself for it in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamerjunkie Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I was kind of leaning that way........if it was 100% original, it would have been different. Thanks for your thoughts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
