? for those with Springys with the round string retainer...

[brad347]

Ok, so I've got my springy set up with .011's and it has the round string retainer type (50s style) for the E and B strings. I like to dig in and play hard... lots of funk rhythm, etc. I've been noticing that occasionally the B string will pop out of the string retainer (detuning it by approximately a semitone) and it's a real pain. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a correction for it?

Does this represent a misaligned string retainer or other defect? I have a TST-'56 with the same type and it's never happened....

never mind, I just fixed it. In case anyone else has this problem, check to make sure that the string retainer isn't misaligned slightly. I just moved it a little bit and it fixed my problem completely, and now I can dig in all I want!
