Sigh Another problem.

yeah, that's actually good advice. i did the same when turning a les paul copys nut i used to have to lefty

Is your high e string slipping out of the kluson tuner? I have is problem alot with klusons. Try a Z pattern around the top of the tuner peg when widing you e string.

Yeah, it's particulary the B and E strings that go out, could you go into more detail about how to wind the high e? And thanks for the help everyone.

Cool, we both have the same problem but that sucks.

Our kluson tuners aren't catching the strings well enough.

Well..this is what I have done.

-Do not cut either of the strings, you'll need the length. (The highest string I cut is g and I'll only trim it)

-Pretty much did an 8 (I said Z but..) around the two forked prongs of the kluson peg. Make sure you turn and bend the string the correct way for winding.

Well, to tell you the truth answer this what size strings you use and what brand. Also, what bridge is in what guitar a jazzmaster or a jaguar?

I'm sure if I used bigger strings this wouldn't happen ehh....(.046-.010 a'addarios)

I'm asume a jazzmaster. As do I.

I use a TOM bridge(yes even tho its an american reissue)

I've compared bridge heights too. Same, but does bridge angle/sharpness effect the tuners hold on a string? probly...

I use 12's 😛 . But yeah, a big reason for where i was going wrong was the fact i was strectching my strings well enough. The guitar is much better. And I have a jaguar, with a stang bridge (prefer it to the jag one, even when properly set up).
