Thanks for taking the time. The only strings I've tried (I've done 2 strings changes so far, both same brand) are the D'Addario NYXL 10's. I use them on my Les Paul and my SG. My SG is a little finicky when it comes to tuning but I can get through an hour or a bit of heavy playing without...

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of different opinions on how to work the locking tuners. Which is par for the course in the guitar world. I just tried to follow the instructions on the PRS website. I just got some big bends yesterday. It's been suggested a few times. I'll give it a shot x my fingers.

Sometimes it stays in tune when playing, sometimes it doesn't. Very inconsistent. As for pings or sounds: on Monday I tuned it up, again and this time the low E and d wouldn't stay in tune. With the D, I brought it all the way back to a B and tuned back D. As I was turning the tuner there was...

Oh for sure. Stretching has always worked on my other guitars, so I try to take my time and do it properly.

First, you're not overdoing it, I appreciate you trying to pass some thoughts my way. I double checked with the locking tuners and I think I've done them right. Fish the string through, do a single wrap downwards (not around all the way, just out and down), finger tighten the lock and give it...

My assumption would be that the tech from my PRS dealer would have checked the nut. My basic understanding, when I look at it, looks fine. What do I know though... I understand what you're saying about to day falling out of tune. If that was my only issue, I'd be beyond happy. My assumption is...

I haven't messed with the trem whatsoever. My first electric was the Les Paul, it's been amazingly stable. I have no experience with tremolos. Haven't touched the springs but, with very limited experience, looked everything over and it all looks very secure. I did change the strings for sure...

Hi all, hoping I can get some advice on what to do next. I bought a new 2020 Silver Sky from a PRS Dealer (Lauzon Music in Ottawa) over the holidays (December 23rd). Beautiful guitar, love the sound, the size, the weight. Almost immediately there were tuning issues. It would stay in tune for...

Hello everyone, New PRS owner, new to the forum, I hope I'm posting in the right location. I've bought a new Mesa Gold Silver Sky from an Authorized dealer where I live. After playing it for a few days I asked the shop to drop the action height to as close to 1.25 MM as possible. It came from...
