I got one and the c-string tuner slips several times then goes up, as if it is partially stripped. Same problem anyone else?

We have had ours for four years and has been flawless. The original set of strings were not the best but otherwise has been great.

The ou5 has Grover tuners and they have a lifetime gu a rented if I remember correctky. This instrument should be repaired or replaced unless of course there is a problem with the string.

Not here. I can't imagine why one tuner would behave any differently than another. Your diagnosis is, sadly, probably correct. In addition to Amazon's return policy the uke carries a five-year limited warranty. You can call the manufacturer at (800) 877-6863 to make a specific enquiry. They are great instruments, by the way, and I think you'll find it worth your effort to get the matter resolved rather than moving to another brand.

Mine is exactly the same way. If you're concerned, I would contact schecter directly. Although I can vouch, this is an amazing guitar and schecter usually never messes up. If I understand correctly though, I believe its normal for this guitar.

My tuning system went haywire after a few years of heavy use and wouldn't tune anything - it jumped all over the place with buttons or with the knob. I didn't replace it, but I'm thinking of getting another one - when it was working, it was a good, sensitive receiver.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though.I hope that works.

I have the violin pickup by Gage and have used it for years with no problem. My bass player uses one like yours and so far so good. I would return it and have them give you another, as the tone quality is excellent.

Awwww... That would be a string issue... Probably not a guitar issue. Most people who buy this guitar change out the strings for a better sound. Cheap fix, a coupla bucks.

I keep mine regularly tuned, there is a steel rod that runs the length of the neck If you are worried about bowing of the neck you can adjust that, but start at your E strings and work your way In. good luck!

I have the same problem of it slipping, and sitting on the strings wrong. The green tab sticks to the red's rubber piece. The red sometimes thuds out a string if I don't press really hard. I'm ok for the moment as I'm just having fun learning to strum and gain finger coordination. I bought the full system directly from the vendor at a local box store promotion. I bought the complete kit, guitar and all. I am still working with it. I have high hopes for this product as it has been fun so far. I plan to call the vendor at some point to dicuss fitting it to their official chord buddy brand guitar. I have the same problem of it slipping, and sitting on the strings wrong.

Very likely defective pickups. You can try to plug it into an amp to test it as well. My pickups were defective, and we decided the overall quality of the electronics were not worth going to the hassle of changing out, so we returned the violin.

What did you end up doing about it? Our pedal has fallen off and it seems the hole is also stripped. I don't know how it stayed on to begin with. I guess somehow with repeated use the hole got bigger. Replacing the pedal will not fix the problem either.

I do not have that problem with this tuner. It locks in the stations very well. I have had your problem in the past with other tuners.

The strings are installed. Suggest you get a digital tuner so you can tune it though.

I have mastered this, after first testing it and getting the stab of doom. You know the selector knob? Don't turn it all the way to either side. Turn it maybe 50%, and see if that works for you. Think of it as a gain knob, if you know how those work.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, but in order for the strings to learn how to keep tune, you will have to continuously tune the strings. It may take a few days until it can hold perfect tune. Mine happen to keep tune within the first couples days. Just like any stringed instrument, the more you use it, the better the sound. Good luck and just be patient

I have one. So far it hasn't done that to me. See if you can return or exchange it for something else.

The guitar vendor will send one if contact them. It's well worth a try. My guitar was perfect after I set it all up. Alston has a good reputation for helping customers. Good luck

Same thing happened to me, as well as the string frayed. I actually emailed Barnett's customer service department and they resent me a string assembly for free. I got it in the mail about 4 days after they replied and it slipped on with no problem. Pretty good customer service.
