Re: Ab adjustment screw

Perhaps the problem is not that you need a thicker Ab, but that you need a thinner A.

Metal removal is a common fix, but I hate removing metal except as a last resort.

Another reason you want to go thinner on the A if possible has to do with venting issues.

A thicker Ab decreases your venting which can lead to all sorts of tuning and tonal problems.

If you are playing a high quality instrument like that, you owe it to yourself to have a top notch repair person check it and voice it for you. Odds are if you are having that problem, you have other issues that you do not know about.

Good luck!
