Thanks again!

Hi Ed,
          This under warranty so call Kent Webb, I prefer to change both
strings of the bi-cord, as there is less hassels with going back to tweek
the unison. Check the bridge pins to ensure there is side bearing, or a
nother possible cause is the bridge is split at the pins.
Regards Roger
