RE: Klein-clogging 1



I have one on my Steindberger. I agree - they cut tone and sustain. I was
advised to replace the brass rollers with steel ones, but I'm not sure if
this would do all that much to solve the problem, which is inherent in the
way a string vibrates off a cylinder. Probalby wouldn't hurt, but I don't
play guitar much any more, any way.
