I just bought a guitar I've never even touched.

[hoss]

Paladin, the nut is not the problem, the strings did not get stuck and "sprang" to a new pitch during bending and stuff.
It's just the Tokai (it says "Tokai" on the back) tuners were _v_e_r_y_ lose and turning much too easily.

Tonight I put the Gotohs on and everything is fine

Whale oil beef hooked, that's the first time I've ever known the tuners to be at fault when it comes to tuning issues on a les paul. 8)

You should touch my old Tokai tuners. They wobble and they rotate with no resistance.

Update (I hope I am not boring you):

Still in tune today :lol:

My Burstbucker 2 sounds so phantastic, it dwarfed the SD 59.

So today I repaired the Burstbucker 3. I simply put a new shielded 4-wire cable on it (for future coil splitting/serial/parallel switching) and everything works now - 8.5kOhm, no hum.
I put the cover back on (with solder joints this time) and put it in the bridge position. It still got less output than the BB2 although I adjusted pu heights.

I love my Tokai, beautiful sound and since the tuner problem is gone it is such a playable guitar.
