Hopefully though it is the new neck setting in. Best of luck with it! was thinking the same thing, my suggestion would be to make sure your 1st and 2nd string has 6 loops around the tuning post and the other four have 3. If you do this, then when you first put strings on, the guitar will only lose tune the first day cause the strings need time to strech.

And like someone else asked, Is it a tremelo guitar? Cause I also agree with that!]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ginger https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175740 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175691 Sun, 07 May 2006 20:22:49 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Manitou https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175691 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175311 Fri, 05 May 2006 15:57:39 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion rocker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175311 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175281 Fri, 05 May 2006 11:08:00 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175281 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175229 Fri, 05 May 2006 04:19:58 +0000

This is an important trick to tuning that will prevent strings from going out of tune. Good point, Wes - I should have mentioned that, since I always do it - it's amazing how many people forget, just as I did, to point this out when explaining how to tune your guitar :shock:]]> Guitar Players Discussion PVTele https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175226 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175181 Fri, 05 May 2006 00:55:36 +0000
You probably already know this, but always tune UP to a note, never down. If you are using a tuner and a string is slightly sharp, detune the string below the note and then tune up to it.

One other thing - a new guitar will have new strings. They will take time to stretch. Make sure, too, that there's not a big bunch of string wound round and round and round the peg of each tuner. Have a look at the excellent advice on changing strings in Alan Horvath's article on GuitarNoise. This is the way to do it if you want to stay in tune!]]> Guitar Players Discussion PVTele https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-175129 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-17457 Thu, 04 May 2006 20:45:01 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion AudioBoy https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/out-of-tune-every-5-minutes/#post-17457
