beefbacons Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hey Guys, So I popped the 1st string on my ZT3. No big deal I guess, had to order a set of steinberger strings. Here's the deal, now that there's no 1st string, the trans trem has moved to the F position. Right now the guitar is in F as if it were its standard tuning, now is that a tension problem? cause of the lack of the 1st string? I thought that on these guitars you would stay in tune even if you popped a string? I guess I'll now when I replace the string if it goes back to standard E tuning, but I just find this weird. Isn't supposed to stay in tune(standard E) with a popped string? Any thoughts would be great Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2bflash Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 If you break a string while the TT3 is locked you will stay in tune until you unlock it. Then the spring will pull it sharp because the strings are exerting less force to counter act the main spring pull (one is missing because it broke). You can then lock it in the standard position again and it should be back to E tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
