Special semi hollow trem wont stay in tune.

[Switchcraft22]

I have a 2024 wood library special semi hollow that every time I use the trim everything goes sharp. I've tried everything. Even took it to Glasers, thought they had it fixed but, no. Any ideas.

Two things. If it has a bone nut replace it with a Core nut. Beat the snot out of the trem. Give it some vigorous use. Sometimes they need to be “broken in”

Also, most trems, even double locking trems, will return slightly sharp (several cents, not drastic) if you pull up on them, but should come back in tune if you drop the pitch. So after pulling up, make sure to drop the bar down and let it come back up to pitch.

What Bodia said . playing aggressively is the trick they get better with use

It seems 99% of the time trem-tuning issues are the nut. You can file slots, use lube (graphite, nut sauce, etc.) or replace it outright at @bodia said
