I like the idea of getting locking tuners too, because, although this seems funny, I like bending strings behind the nut (ala Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi) and i probably can't do that with a locking nut. How can I check if the bridge is in good condition though? because if it's not then I might need locking saddles or a trem stabalizer or something like that, correct?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Steve-0 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-new-project/#post-104476 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-new-project/#post-104432 Sun, 29 May 2005 07:11:17 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-new-project/#post-104432 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-new-project/#post-9374 Sun, 29 May 2005 03:25:39 +0000
- Touch up chips in paint (relatively easy and cheap to do).

- Switch all pickups: 2 single coils for the neck and middle position and a humbucker for the bridge.

- Install locking tuners/ locking nut/ locking saddles/ trem stabalizer.

- Replace the volume and tone knobs that I have and maybe even get a fancier pickguard.

My question is that when I use my whammy bar for large whammy dive or sometimes on rare occasion my guitar slips out of tune... I've had set-ups done on it (the nut is slotted and i replaced the older string trees on it), and i even lubricate all the parts before i put strings on. Would putting locking tuners or a locking nut or anything i posted above help stop this? what would be the best and cheapest thing to do? Also, if anyone has any recommendations for pickups to install, that would be great too, thanks alot.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Steve-0 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-new-project/#post-9374
