I recently acquired a gorgeous 1915 Gibson F4. I love everything about it but the beautiful Handel tuners are very hard to turn when tuning. It almost feels like I might damage them when tuning. I read somewhere Gibson changed at some time from the “under” gear style to the “over” gear style because of tuning difficulties.
Is this something I just have to live with because of the design? Can I lubricate them to make them work better? Or should I just take it to my guitar tech?
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
