theseus Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 How to change strings on the Dusk Tiger? No idea at all!! Is there an 'auto' mode in the MCK to wind up after the inserting and locking the strings? Could not find any manuals that have the basic string change instructions either. Sorry I know it's basic please help! Thanks a bunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theseus Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Will try it again and see if I get it right. I tried it earlier, nothing works. Hopefully, future instructions can be made idiot proof. In a simpler step by step format. Many thanks and hope to get it working and will do another post. Thanks!!

theseus Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Tried it it didn't work. Pressed 4 times to Red mode. Selected arrow up/A. All EADGBe turned red. Rotated to selected string, turned blue. Press MCK more than a sec to enter. Nothing happens. Tapping on the saddles too, nothing. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks man!!

theseus Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thank you Skeeter and tronical.member! Each string does string up but only a little turn, hence, the string tension is really loose. Is this normal? Stringing Down, it is as described two at a time, no issues. On another note, the 3rd G and 1st e-string doesn't seem to wind up to pitch as quickly as the rest of the strings. In short, it is not as 'sensitive' as the rest. Has anyone encounter the same situation? Are the original stock strings Gibson Brite Wires? Thanks so much for all the help folks! Sorry for so many questions.

tronical.member Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 theseus, the strings need a small amount of pre-tension in order to not touch any fret as they carry the power and data up to the neck electronics. Pull on the strings before screwing tight the lock nut to avoid any short. In string up mode you should tap on the MCK for each string 2-4 times in sequence: - E, A and D string push MCK 2-3 times - G, B and high e push MCK 3-4 times. Afterwards you can either strum or switch to normal robotune mode. For the strings that seem not to be as sensitive as the others: - check their string shafts on the bridge saddles, they must not be inclined at all, use a pliers or a small screw driver and push them back slightly towards the tailpiece so they are in an upright position inside the saddle. This will make the piezos, which are implemented inside the saddles work more sensitive. - the higher the string gage, the better respond from the piezos you will get. Tronical You play. We tune.
