What does it mean when your tuning a string up and all of a sudden the tuning key will no longer turn? My high E is doing this and it stops turning just flat of pitch. My D string is also getting funny where the pitch position seems to be right in between two rough spots in the turn. Is this something intonation could fix? I know my machine heads are really getting old it is an 82 custom. The heads are the ones that the tuning winder pops out from and I really like them and do not want to have to put new keys on, unless I absolutely have to.
My guitar has the factory kahler trem and I haven't found anyone locally that can set this thing up correctly. That being said this tuning key problem started about a month ago. Same string guage as always, etc. I can use the fine tuning screws on the trem to get the E string to pitch for now but I can't help but feel I am sitting on a timebomb. Please advise and thanks.
