Compensator on Williams 700

[Will C]

I found the 6th string went flat when I pressed the A pedal, not by much but you could hear it. After faffing around for a month or more trying to tweak the string a little sharp so the flatness wouldn't matter too much I conceded defeat and made up a compensator pull today. Using the lowest leverage possible, I can just raise that string a few cents to correct the effect and all is now sweet and harmonious. And I only had to use a wire coathanger for the pull-rod: it is almost exactly the diameter of a Williams pull-rod. A M2.5 thread on the end and Robert's your father's brother!

Necessity is the mother of invention. Now I'm wondering if it's only my guitar, or could they all use one.....?

Hi Will. What we need is photo/s!! Sounds as though you've created a 'fix' that could be useful for a lot of players.
