I'm telling you, it's not the tuners, it's the nut. It may need some cleaning up or refiling, but the tuners are rarely the issue when a guitar fails to stay in tune.

I had the issue with my new '61 RI, so I changed out the strings then got some of that nut lube (not Nut Sauce) and put that in there. Things are much better now. I still think the nut needs some work, but the tuners are fine. It's the nut that's binding. It is a little disappointing that a $2,000 guitar needs to have the nut filed, but it is what it is. Great guitar otherwise.
