John Ross asked: "There seems to be a lot of G models, GA, GM, 1's and 2's etc. Does anyone know which specific model had the problem, and is it still being produced." John, That was the GH-1. However, there has been so damned many versions of that model it's ridiculous. Back when...I did a scale redesign for them. They used it for a while and then changed back to the original. THEN...it was one change after another, all avoiding my design. Most were terrible. But, sometimes they almost got it right.<G> BTW...the G stands for "Grand" and the H stands for "Home" and the 1 stands for the smallest made. Got that bit of do-do straight from the dog!<G> Their intent, at the time, was to sell a grand to the rich/bitch bunch that didn't play. The mistake they made wss to price it cheaply. Musicians loved the price ....later hated the instrument. I spent a lot of time changing out the lower treble strings and adding hitch pins, back then. The structure was so light that I could change the pitch by 30cents just taking 4 unisons off of the bass bridge!! (necessary to get at the hitch area of the break/long bridge end.<G> Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
