Make sure that the strings area wrapped around the tuning posts with the string leading from the medial (inside) of the tuning post to the nut. When the strings are wound with the string leading on the lateral sid eof the tuning post it causes a lot os stress on the neck and the strings will go out of tune very quickly - even before they are played.

If you only need to tune every 2-3 days then that is normal.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance pops22br https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-wont-hold-tune-well/#post-103589 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-wont-hold-tune-well/#post-102215 Fri, 13 May 2005 10:43:17 +0000
Old habit. believing with the strings pulling the neck forward it's always made since to face it that way. It may or may not really have any noticable effect. Plus protects the front in case old girl friend throws something it will ding the back not the front....lol

I have guitars that stay in tune that long, but I check them every time.

I'd say you should be able to tune one day and play the next without issues.

Now if the temperature drops, or it rains, or a cold front moves through, you will be retuning.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/guitar-wont-hold-tune-well/#post-101583
