1. Turn tip of string post until it clicks into place. This aligns string post holes.

2. Note string hole is off center. Turn knob to rotate post until string hole is positioned away from knob. Thread string up through bottom of hole and pull firmly. See drawing.

3. Turn to begin tuning. At first, only inner "Locking Cam" is turning, securely locking the string. Once the string is locked, outer post will turn.

4. Bring string to pitch.

So, to unlock post, loosen thumb wheel, then turn button or "tuning knob" back into a slackened position to drop the cam and expose string hole, which you will align with main post by turning top of post manually. It's complicated, and I still don't think I am explaining it, or I haven't seen anyone else explain it better. Tuners were just a real pain, but you might stick with them? After string is inserted you turn the knob, bringing cam up, before the post will even begin to turn or rotate. :?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/grover-roto-grip-locking-rotomatics-stuck/#post-368146 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/grover-roto-grip-locking-rotomatics-stuck/#post-368142 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 23:37:22 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance bjtr86 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/grover-roto-grip-locking-rotomatics-stuck/#post-368142 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/grover-roto-grip-locking-rotomatics-stuck/#post-368112 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 05:01:53 +0000
