Re: Help with Sperzels
assuming you're talking about locking tuners; there's a nob-screw on the underside of the tuning machine that needs to be screwed in snug to clamp down on the string threaded through the post. that being done, you should be able to turn the tuning peg to preferred note.

The sales guy is a tool, the screws on the back are not fine tuners they control the locking pin inside the post. You'll probably need to "stretch" your strings just a bit as usual and retune, but it should be pretty solid assuming your guitar is setup well.
Where in NM are you at? I'm in Albuquerque.

Hahaha .... wow. "Fine tuners" on the backs of the actual tuners. Of course! Why didn't I think of that?
Can't fault you for not knowing, iceman, but it was the salesdouche's job to know and he dropped the ball.

i totally agree. the end user is supposed to be educated by the sales guy, who apparently is a poorly trained monkey

Re: Help with Sperzels
Am I the only person who thinks the whole guitar store experience would benefit from the employees being paid a decent wage? I realize the retail industry isn't structured that way, but I'd much rather deal with someone who can operate on the level of a consultant with a respectable knowledge of their products than some goofball who is equally qualified to flip burgers or stock frozen foodstuffs.

Just adjusted my old 1989 Blade Superstrat for one of my old buddies, the Sperzels are from 90.....still works just fine.
That salesperson needs a serious upgrade!

Re: Help with Sperzels
I want to point out that the locking screws are to be finger tight. Don't over tighten them, just snug them up to hold the string.
Speaking of salespeople making a decent wage, I have a friend who has worked for Guitar Center for over 6 years and he tells me they are lowering the pay plans again. He (my friend) has a large group of costumers and does very well in sales, but has expressed his desire to leave because he can no longer make the same income. This is the same scenario of course, where companies end up running off the experienced in favor of the less knowledgeable (thus cheaper).

Re: Help with Sperzels
The salesman's job is to sell me something.
It's my responsibility to decide if I want to buy the product; my responsibililty to determine if the product will do the job; my responsibility to learn how to use it correctly.
If you do not take those responsibilities--you will will always be dealing with idiot salesmen, and be at the mercy of shysters.
