DGT Core won't stay in tune

[sick pickle]

I use Tri-Flow in my nut slots. Heard that Slash's tech preferred it. You can buy the expensive 'pen style version'. But I just bought the regular little black squeeze bottle and put the product within syringes that I bought on Amazon. Still cheaper.

I know, but a curveball is fun sometimes. My core Starla had tuning issues. It was the bridge.

I'm almost sure mine is as well, but I'm going to try and replace the nut regardless.

If you have the Black Composite Nut , then nut sauce will cause sticking issue from my experience.
I would first clean the nut slots
also check the collars on the tuners.
after that give the guitar a good flog , do some dive bombs and wiggles , tune up to pitch repeat your tuning will get better

Mine was needing to tighten the collars on my tuners. I've had that problem with every guitar with the collars coming set way too loosely.
Hated the factory setting!

Check the nut and ensure that the bridge plate is parallel to the body. That is a necessity for a stable tremolo which returns to pitch after use. I have two core DGT's and made sure of these two things on both. No tuning issues with either.

PRS replaced the bone nut (this was a wood library model and the dealer had opted for a bone nut) with a PRS nut
