I have played mostly Strats, but recently bought one of the new SE Santanas for the humbuckers, and just to check it out. I like it a lot, the neck, the tone, how it looks. I use the tremolo but not super aggressively.
I couldn't keep the stock in tune, changed the .010 strings twice, so I installed locking tuners. That didn't help so I installed a graphite nut. Maybe a bit better, but nowhere near the stability of my Strats. I still have to tune after every couple songs if I use the tremolo.
This is a shame, as I was looking at the American PRS, the new CE24 in particular. So I'm wondering, is there a big difference between American and Korean, or is this just PRS tremolos, or maybe I got a lemon? And if the latter, what would cause it?
