Great product! The system works really well, and the knob lets you fine-tune the drop tuning.
I use it on a MATON in OPEN G tuning to activate the Hipshot for a low C!
Just a quick note: the mechanism is a bit short compared to others, and there’s not much room when changing strings—it works, but it’s a tight fit.
Great product works as intended and easy install, I just wish the product description was more obvious on the difference between the different versions they offer.
I've installed a Hipshot Xtender on previous instruments with no issues. In this instance upon installation and tuning, the tuning machine seemed to seperate slightly from the baseplate and the tuning gears either stripped or seperated from each other. Will be sending it back, hopefully, for a replacement or refund.
I got one many years ago when I saw a picture of Richard Thompson's Lowden with one & thought "genius!" Haven't been disappointed, works like a charm, easy to install (and I'm not mechanically inclined).
I play live and use concert and drop D tunings throughout the show. This little wonder was easy to install and saves me a lot of time between songs. Once you tune both concert and then dropped, it is very accurate. Putting them on all my guitars.
