    Thanks for that tip, Bill. I just put some cheap tuners from an old guitar on a build I was doing, and I couldn't get the bottom string above a dull-sounding D# without it slipping out. I ended up buying a set of new tuners to fix it. Now, thanks to your idea, I can put those old tuners back to work on another build!
