v-bar/capo repair

[David Ilvedson]

Confession time....many years ago (spelled rookie) I had a Yamaha C3 with buzzing in 1st treble note...for some reason I thought if I lowered that pressure bar between tuning pin and capo...I'd definitely improve it....I definitely did not...mucho worse...what I needed was to regain that bearing height/angle...ended up building it back up with a bar....not a pretty thing...
