Location: chicago | Hey,
Have you ever changed the strings on your ax, and had all the tunners lined up in a perect row, when your guitar was in tune?
I've been playing for 28 years, and have never seen this once, but yet they do it everytime in Guitar Advertisements, weird huh? :eek: |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Actually I'm kind of a type-A guy. So, the way I tune my guitar is to get it as perfect in tune as I can, but then I give each key the little "extra" to get them all lined up. It looks really nice and neat. Dave |

I stop at making sure that the ball ends of the strings all align at the bridge. If you take and run the just-removed G string though them on a 12 string they are easier to have aligned upon tensioning. |

Are your tunners in a row?
