Location: GA USA | Dear Abby, is it the shape of the fretboard on the 1581 that causes intonation problems with my Kyser? If I get it in tune and slap the Kyser on the 2nd fret, then play a G chord, the top string (A note) is sharp. Tell me what to do. |

Location: Cincinnati | I had the same problem on it with my Kyser, Jas. I don't think the Kyser and the 1581 neck are a good match. |

Location: Scotland | This is one of several reasons why I won't use a non-adjustable capo such as the Kyser. Kysers will work perfectly on many guitars, but there will be some set-ups where the clamping pressure is too strong (or too weak) for the string guage/action/neck releif/fret bead height and that will cause problems. There are a ton of capos such as the Shubb, G7, Victor, Paige and others where the clamping pressure is finely adjustable. Any of those should solve your problem |

[And Cheap! :D ]
Alittle bit bigger than this photo. |

Location: GA USA | The curve is the issue. I may need a rubber pencil. I'll head over to Eddie's Trick Shop and get one. I was needing some fake bullet holes and a whoopie cushion anyway. I am just about out. |
