If you are worried about the effects of humidity, get yourself a guitar humidifier and make sure you get one that fits into your guitar type.

Hi Fabio,

Probably not. I have a Gator micro keyboard gig bag that I use for my POD HD –

it would probably fit the Rig Kontrol but you’d need to check the specs.

Good luck!

No – You’ll probably need to humidify it.

My guitar is in Southern California. It’s very dry here (It’s rained twice this year) and I haven’t had any problems.

Comment on Steinberger Gearless Tuners – Review by GuitArchitecture

Hi Tim,

I haven’t had that problem!!

If you’ve full relieved tension on the string (unscrewed the back part of the tuner) the top screw is the only thing that should be holding tension. If you unscrew it all the way – it should come right out of the tuner.

Since you’ve said that this is a common question on the firebirds – I’m wondering if this is something specific to the machines on that model (perhaps a bad production run?)

There are reports that the build qualities are sometimes uneven – 1 tuner in a batch will be poor.

If it’s new – the guitar should be under warrantee – so get it fixed for free if possible.

If it’s not possible – What I’d recommend doing is going in with some of these other people who are having problems and buying a new set of tuners or just buying a set on your own and then selling the individual tuners for $20 or $25 per to people who are having that problem.

Good luck.

I have these tuners and the high E string broke at the bridge. I tried to change the string but it will not come out of the tuner. I went on line to find players all over are having the same problem. It is a new Firebird guitar and I love the sound & action but can not trust it at a gig because of this issue. Any tricks on getting the E string out? .

Dear Mike, I am most delighted to hear about your new discovery and purchases. Maybe, the next time you are in Ho Chi Minh City, do pay a visit to the man’s workshop/factory like I did. You’ll be pleasantly surprised, and I am most certain about that.
