My thoughts exactly, Fred. All of my guitars(6-string) have keyheads, and so does my steel. And EVERY single electric motor in my house exhibits a little bit of hysteresis. Can't say that about my guitars, though...
Anytime one of you moderator types wants to close this thread, do so, with my blessing. |

Here ya go Phred and Stephen: quote:
Hysteresis - when a pull that lowers a string comes back sharp, and a pull that raises the same string comes back flat.
Should be crystal clear by now.

OR, you can try Joey's definition: quote:
The string does not return to the proper pitch, due to mechnical issues.
Or Tucker Jackson's: quote:
"It means something is mechanically unsound. Ergo, compensators to overcome it are correcting an engineering defect."
Well, yes. Of course. You'll notice that not too many are arguing that point with regard to hysteresis.

Way to go Curt, now you're learning. See you really can put valuable information, even though they're quotes, on the forum without bringing up keyed vs. keyless. I'm really proud of you. Maybe there's hope.  ------------------
