I LOVE the tuning machines on my new GT. Import or not, I love the NONPLATE OF
THREE tuners, and these have no slop and are real nice, so far. Hope they hold up
for a while. I like em.
They are my second experience with quality tuners.
They are as good, if not better, than the tuners on our Kentucky F-630 mando.
Ånd those are sensitive n responsive as all get out, for another low cost import
instrument.
I really like that mando, btw.
Howard, can you elaborate on the difference on the import tail piece, and what
Beard uses on custom's?
Shape, length, mass, cut, and purpose for why it is as it is?
Or, is there a pic of them on the Beard site?
This tail piece adventure is comin to a close for me, with this new GT. I don't
think I can improve what I would want to improve, with a shorter and denser
tailpiece, based on a few listers off list comments about their experiments.
I HAD thought, opening the bottom hole of the cover plate with a shorter
tailpiece, would significantly improve loudness, and overall tone.
I've been told, there's sig loss of tone in different upper and lower registers,
and an overall loss in VOLUME! Due to longer string lengths behind the bridges,
and a shallower slope of angle, which reduces downward pressure on the cone.
Dang, here I go, fantasizin about luthiery! Sure love talkin about it, though.
;-)
Thanks in advance, still livin n lovin in GT Land.
Gonna be more n few 5-Stringers I know at fests pissed at me this season! <grin>
