I build guitars and sell them. Strings, too
I'm writing this after getting extremely POd, so bear with me because I cannot see this happening twice, as it has.
This is my first time installing Ultralights and when I tighten the tuner a hair to much the threads disengage and the Y comes detached.
I tried tightening the allen key underneath, but it never tensions up enough to allow the threads to engage and tighten the string.

Hey Luke,

Have you tried contacting Hipshot? It sounds like a defect, but that's just a guess...
