Now you're talking. That ought to help.

There likely wouldn't have been a significant scaling change 
in the capo sections anyway. It would be interesting to get 
some speaking length and wire measurements through the problem 
areas and see how long that scale is, the tensions, and how 
high the break% is at pitch. That might have something to do 
with it too. May be a design feature... Where's that 
transparent tone?
