RE: Slipping pegs??? (in reply to Anders Eliasson)

quote:
before doing anything radical, get some creamy soap and some fine pumice powder (chalk can do) make a good blend and put it on the pegs. If they slip, put more pumice, if they stick, put on some more soap. This sounds like fun. . .you start with both pumice and the soap in a 50/50 blend? then add more of one or the other according to slip or stick? I think maybe I'll try that in combination with Stephen's idea of trying to 'match' the pegs/hole etc. Right now I have two that slip continually, and two that stick almost rock solid. I thought maybe I'd remove all the pegs and start by trying each one in each hole until most of them seemed to work O.K. without slipping. Then; using Anders' magic mixture I'd try to get them all working smoothly again. They were not perfect before, so maybe they'll be better with the treatment? Meanwhile, our local 'pro-guitarist' shop wants six weeks and about 240 bucks to retrofit geared pegs! For a poor old bugger like me, thats a lot of haircuts. . .
