v-bar/capo repair

[David Ilvedson]

I have seated the strings from the front bearing surface (between tuning pin and capo)...the string drops down and improved this zinging.   I also think hardening of the hammers, i.e. higher frequencies being produced changed what was coming out of that capo area...is it better with the shift on or no difference...?
