Fix Needed for Tribute Tuners

[Mike H]

Okay -- it turns out that there are no exact Hipshot tuners for the Trib series (Jason at Hipshot's customer service quickly provided me with useful information). So my problem needs a new solution.

The tuners on my L-2500(T) turn too easily. The "A" in particular, being the farthest out in a 3+2 config, is always knocked out of tune in my gig bag. The phenomenon is likely exacerbated by the comparatively low ratio which I think is 18:1.

So, having made a long query tedious, my question is this: how do I tighten the pegs/gears/whatever to make the tuners less prone to de-tuning?

There's a black hex screw at the end of each tuner that can be tightened with an allen wrench. I had the same problem but that fixed it.

I haven't had any trouble, but I didn't know those screws were there.

That's why I hang around this place.
