    Why is my PRS SE Standard 24 not staying in tune after bending but returning to pitch after using the vibrato arm?

    Hello! I have a PRS SE Standard 24 that I bought in 2020. It’s an awesome guitar, but there is a problem I’m having. When I do a bend (especially on the G string), the string goes flat. When I push down on the whammy bar and bring it back up, the pitch returns to where it was before the bend. I...

    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...

    Tuning Stability Issues Due to Vibrato

    Hello, I’m currently playing a PRS S2 Standard 24 and an Ernie Ball Musicman Albert Lee MM90 which both have tuning stability issues after a dive on the vibrato. After a dive, the strings(all of them) go sharp. With a slight tug of about an inch off the fretboard, it returns to perfect pitch...
