But reading through this thread makes me thing it is not terribly unusual what is happening...

To the post about 47 years... they don't make them like they used to I have noticed with a lot of other metal products (tools in general), that the new ones in store are of far less quality than the old ones I find at thrift stores.

The guitar I have is a house brand and came with a 7 year warrantee. Maybe I'll see about getting things leveled/dressed or whatever it is, and then try an adjustable tension capo.
