Hi all,
I'm a proud new owner of a T59v as of this weekend. I wanted to replace the strings, and I ran into trouble with the tuner for the low E string. Trying to wind the string, the tuner was occasionally really tight and would pop and unwind a bit. I took the string out and removed the tuner from the headstock to test it completely by itself and found the same issue: the resistance wasn't smooth and would pop/snap every few rotations. I'm assuming it's a random isolated issue, and the tuner is just bad--not sure how or if I broke it myself. I ordered a new set of SD90 Relics and am hoping that I should be able to just replace the one and be all set. Anxiously waiting for them to show up at the end of the week, so I thought I'd double check here to see if you all think my logic tracks or if I should just take the guitar back to the shop for a hopefully complementary repair.
