Hi Guys,
I recently acquired a PRS SE Tremonti Custom in a trade & I absolutely love it. I also have a CE24 & a 408 which are amazing guitars.
However, the Tremonti has some serious tuning problems. It's currently strung with 9-42 gauge D'Addarios. I've changed the stock nut & tuners to a TUSQ XL & Schaller M6 locking tuners but it's not really made much of a difference.
The tuning goes out if I use the trem lightly or bend the strings with a little left hand vibrato.
As its second hand, I don't really know what's been done to it previously. The trem only has 3 springs fitted. Is this standard for an SE or should it have 4 (or 5).
I'm gonna get a pro setup done on it but was wondering if there's anything else I could also try.
Thanks.
Dan.
