Hi guys,
I've got a little problem with my LS75 and tuning. I use 11-52 gauge strings and once tuned up my guitars fine and will stay in tune pretty good. Until I start bending strings above the 12th fret where they start to knock themselves out of tune quite badly.
it's mostly the high E and B string with the occasional G going out of tune.
I'm pretty sure that the bridge end of things is okay but I'm unsure if the nut is the problem. You see the strings are quite a tight fit in the nut because of how thick they are and i'm not sure if they are catching or sticking.
My guitar has vintage Kluson type tuners, could these be the problem?
Slash uses those tuners and he bends like mad and I dont suppose he would put up with tuning problems? Anyway any help on resolving this from someone who has had similar problems would be great. Cheers Steve
