A YC Weber, c. 1995. model WG50, 4'10" The top two treble sections do not have the strings rendering well under the v-bar. It is not a milled portion of the plate but an onlay with a duplex style segmenting. The strings will not budge sideways, there is a death grip. Is this material some soft alloy which didn't work out? A few months ago I had another of the same model made in 2001, it was fine; reconditioned and sold without trouble which was why I picked this one up. Is there a replacement v-bar for these? I can't sell it in this untuneable condition. F#5 is the worst. I've tried everything short of wire replacement. Maybe the profile is too sharp, the counter bearing duplexes seem to be. The bridge pins are almost vertical as well. -- Regards, Jon Page
