Hey all, I just recently purchased a used Vela (semi-hollow, reclaimed wood). It sounds great, although I can't seem to keep it in tune for the life of me. This became a real problem at my first gig as it was really embarrassing playing, then realizing how out of tune it had become after a few seconds into a song!
This guitar comes stock with the locking tuners (which appear to be perfectly locked), and I've heard great things about, so I'm really surprised.
I just picked up a new pack of strings, so I will restring tonight, stretch them, and see if anything changes.
I also noticed that the string action is a little high. I couldn't find the factory action settings for the strings, so they might be right where they need to be, but who knows. Maybe this is affecting my problem.
Has anyone had this problem with the Vela? Any advice from anyone at all would help. I've had to switch back to my G&L for gigs!!
Thanks for reading guys.
