Bought an acoustic guitar second-hand from a guy on Facebook marketplace. It's a Donner, never heard of this brand, but my soon-to-be 14 year-old daughter wants a guitar for her birthday, so..surpise!
Tightening the screw on the side of the tuning peg does nothing, it'll tighten, but as soon as you try to tighten that string, the screw comes loose and the peg has ALOT of play.
My question is, how do I get the little cap off of the back of the tuner, to get to the gears inside of it? I read that those come loose sometimes, and that might help. Will it help? I really don't want to have to scrap the guitar idea for her birthday, its just a couple days away. Thanks for any input you guys have!
