Just wondering with these kinds of breaks if its worth continuing trying
to get it fixed or better just to sell it as damaged?

Doesn't seem to be a lot online regarding repairing these kinds
of breaks and their attendent tuning after-effects.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance mcurran https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/washburn-hb-35-wr-repair-question/#post-299497 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/washburn-hb-35-wr-repair-question/#post-299483 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:17:48 +0000

If you look on the back of the headstock, there's normally a sticker/transfer to show that it is installed.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/washburn-hb-35-wr-repair-question/#post-299469 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/washburn-hb-35-wr-repair-question/#post-299458 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:59:43 +0000
Thanks for reply. I've read this guitar has the Buzz Feiten tuning system but nobody
ever told me it required a special tuner. Where would I get such a tuner?

Strangely, nobody that has reviewed this guitar in the many reviews online ever
mention it, and none of the techs I spoke to or guitarists I know ever said a
word about it.

I'd like to hear from other guitarists regarding this, as well.

thanks...

Hello All,

Four years ago I bought a Washburn HB-35-WR from
Musician's Friend. After a week, I knocked it off the
stand and the tuning headpiece broke clean off.

Warranty doesn't cover damage like that.

After sobbing, I took it to a local tech for repair.

He glued the piece back on and ever since, I have
not been able to keep the guitar in tune.

I've tried having it set up by a few other techs,
but no luck. Same problem. You play a G chord,
its in tune. Play an A chord, you will want to kill
yourself.

I love the guitar, and it gets great reviews online and I've
never seen a complaint about tuning problems.

Is it hopeless?

Can it be fixed or should I sell it as damaged goods and
buy a replacement?


thanks

Mark Conrad
