Tele String Trees and Tuners Experiences from Builders and Modders?

[KP11520]

Nice job on those trees!

Careful on those fast necks... You might slip and fall.

Glad you got to the bottom of the tuning problem. So many times it's like chasing a ghost! A Trem Ghost!

Geez... sorry to have dropped this thread for so long. Here's a pic of the bone string trees I made for my McNaught G4. They've been on for a few years and the bone pieces no longer match in color... I'll have to redo one. The funny nut is a bone replacement I made for the Earvana I had installed at one point. The Earvana worked well but looked like hell, so I traced it on bone and smoothed out the contours. This guitar has the fastest neck I have ever played but gave me nightmares with a failure to return to pitch when the trem was used. I tried every string tree, nut trick, etc., and every trem trick as well. (There was no flaw in Dave's fantastic build!!!) The cure: Blade Runner trem by Super-Vee. Those units are flawless!
