Come to think of it, the strings on it now have been on it for 10 months and have been played a lot. I'll change 'em one of these days. Still sound OK, though.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-183145 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-183120 Tue, 13 Jun 2006 01:59:22 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance racetruck1 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-183120 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-178692 Wed, 24 May 2006 19:39:11 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance phangeaux https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-178692 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-178687 Wed, 24 May 2006 19:17:44 +0000 placebo effect of new and better tuners though! I am am going to replace the ones on my G400 with locking tuners, because I like the guitar so much, and I don't like the tuners.

By the way Ricochet, my Continental Tricone is AWESOME, it will stay in tune for a year, I'm sure. This is because it is built so rigidly AND because of the slotted headstock with the large horizontal tuner shafts holding better (more surface area in the wind). ALSO there is more of a string break angle in a slotted headstock. Now that implies by my reasoning that a worn nut could contribute to tuning problems given the varying tensions on strings while playing, given a low break angle at the nut on alot of electric guitars.

Another possibility is slight movement of the neck relative to the body due to variances in temperatures and relative humidity and moisture content of the wood,....

I don't know for sure, but new locking tuners are in order for my G400 because I just don't like the cheap ones that are on it, and I REALLY LIKE the guitar- It is going to get a full dressup eventually.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance phangeaux https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-178687 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-175026 Thu, 04 May 2006 03:57:20 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Manitou https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-175026 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-174903 Wed, 03 May 2006 19:35:12 +0000


Just an update - I picked up the SG after about 9 days of not playing it and only the D string was slightly off (half a turn). The other 5 strings were literally perfectly in tune!!!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-174903 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-174236 Sun, 30 Apr 2006 01:58:58 +0000
I want high quality tuners and LOCKING tuners are what I have in mind. Can anyone recommend preferred locking tuners for an SG?

Other upgrades will be the bridge and the pickups/switch/pots but those will come later, however if anyone has a link to a web page or site dealing with SG style upgrades, I would appreciate it.

Oh yeah, on edit: I think this will be my favorite electric guitar for playing bottleneck slide, so I want to upgrade the hardware etc. to make a top notch guitar. I love the neck and the cut-aways, and even the existing humbuckers sound pretty good, so bottleneck blues/slide is my intended use as far as upgrades.

Thanks,

Ok... well I'm relatively happy with the Grovers, but I will also bring it to the attention of my luthier the next time I get it set up (been 2 years).]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-172968 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-171042 Mon, 10 Apr 2006 02:26:12 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance sito71 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-171042 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-168641 Mon, 27 Mar 2006 18:02:54 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/gibson-tuners/paged/2/#post-168641
