No fit problems with the D Tuner? I've seen that some folks had trouble with them hitting the G tuner. Maybe they bought the wrong model.

Also, do you use a heavier E string with the D Tuner?

The old version of the D-Tuner hit the G machine Head, the new version does not.
I use a 105, same as I always have, but am going to try a 100.

Thanks, Rikk!
You got me thinking about buying on of those, now.
Maybe around tax time in March.

Well I would just offer a warning about that Hipshot bridge made to fit a Rick. The saddles on mine wiggle from side to side all the time. I've had it examined by professional techs and there is no reason this should be happening. Mine, at least, is defective, and I'm replacing it with one of the Leo Quan bridges (a whole other can of worms).
A little pain never hurt anyone.

Top-notch bridge, fully adjustable, very massive, made of high quality materials and nicely finished. Looks great, too.

Yeah, I like mine.

Listen to that sustain!
