Physics work a little differently out here in California I reckon.

David,
Can this be done?

If you were somehow able to take the nut off of a steel, and have just the changer and the tuning key 36" apart. Could you tune that G# string up to pitch, then pull it up to an A, without it breaking?..... I say that you would be hard pressed to even be able to tune the G# up to pitch without it breaking, much less pull it up to an A.

And again, I ask: Why can't we have a keyed 30" scale guitar?

Thanks for your input!

This argument has nothing to do with Don's question (which has been answered), so I'm closing it.
