    Intonation and tuning devices

    I bought a new SE Custom 24 a couplf of weeks ago. I restrung it with Ernie Ball Super Slinky, 9-42. (I believe the guitar comes with those gauges if not that brand.). I have a couple of on-guitar tuners, a Silver Snark and a D'Addario. When I use either of them - and I just double-checked -...

    Brand new core Modern Eagle will not hold tuning...

    Hi folks. Just received delivery on friday of a core Modern Eagle V. This thing took 7 months to arrive on backorder. My excitement quickly turned to heartbreak. Problem: Will not hold tune whatsoever. Within 30 seconds of playing anything beyond soft finger picking, tuning slips in...

    Silver Sky Trem Issue

    Hey Everyone, Got a Silver Sky and the bridged is decked (factory setup). When I use the tremolo a bit, I noticed the G and B strings do not go back in tune - they go sharp actually. Is this a problem with the bridge being decked? Do I need to make it a floating trem setup to use it? Or...

    PRS Custom 22 tremolo issues (two zero piont problem)

    Hi folks, I hop it's okay, to open a new thread for this. If one describing the same problem already exists, I'd appreciate it, if you'd post a link to the specific thread. So I own a PRS Custom 22 (should be a 1997/1998) with a phase 2 trem. One day I realized, that it won't stay in tune...

    Tuning issues

    PRS Custom SE 24 with Floyd Hello out there. I'm a total newbie when it comes to tuning a Floyd. Got my first PRS yesterday, but can't seem to tune it so it stays in tune. I loosened the 2 screws by the nut. Tuned it the regular way. Tightened the screws. Tried to set the intonation. I thought...

    Sharp Notes After Sitting - Then Goes In Tune?

    Hello Everyone, Bought a new Silver Sky a couple months ago and have noticed lately that when it sits for a few minutes, the strings go sharp (maybe 10-20 cents?). However, if I play for 5-10 seconds, they go back to being in tune. Anyone experience this? Could the tremolo claw screws be too...

    SE Custom 24 that drops the low E string pitch by 1/2 step when bending

    I have a SE Custom 24 with 5 springs on the tremolo and the bridge is floating parallel with the top, but if I hit a low E and then bend up to an E on the second string 15th fret, the low E drops to an E-flat and make everything sound awful. I have locking tuners, Nut sauce in the nut, and...

    Phase III tuners are tight

    My Phase III tuners on my 2012 Stripped 58 are really tight and hard to turn which makes the tuning jump sharp or flat sometimes. What is the best way to make these a little more easy to tune? Just wanted to see if anyone had an answer (or had this problem) before I start loosening things up :)...

    PRS SE Custom 24 tuning problems: locking tuners needed?

    Hi there, I bought a PRS SE Custom 24 in august and I never noticed any tuning problem until I changed the original nut with a Graphtech Tusq and the strings from 9-42 to 10-46. Then I began having the G string go sharp in a matter of seconds. I brought the guitar to my luthier and he did a...
