Looking for Single String Retainers!!!

As you can see the A string and D string are causing me some issues, there was a double string retainer in place put pulled out when I changed over to Medium strings.... Help Please!!

Brilliant!

quick fix is run the string past a japan head screw or use a brass tube and tie wrap as a quick bodge

tie wraps work but dont look too great,...  

this is now replaced with a small piece of ebony and 2 screws..that way you can use a flat piece of wood as the neck..

 

Beautiful

 

Good old japan screws work a treat as the have big heads...this works to take pressure off home made tuners and works

looks awful, but great for thoose quick rubbish testers...teak oil can diddley bow

I like Randys detail too
