[sg 61 reissue tunig problem?]

Ok. After the second trip to the Luther on Friday things nave settled down nicely. Went from .10's to 11's, readjusted the truss rod, and filed the nut. Now it's staying in tune as expected for a new set of strings and no wonky G string issues. Definitely keeping this one. I would say if you are looking for a 61 reissue just plan on having it setup properly as soon as practical.

Please let us know how it turns out...

 

Q: Do you regret buying this model?

I have still not decided which one to get.

But if the reissue has tuning issues I might start looking at the anniversary model (even though people tend to complain about th PU's) or a Derek Trucks (twice the price, I know)

 

 

At this point I don't regret buying this model because when it is in tune it plays great. Nice action, sustain, and tone. Talk to me after I get the nut checked tomorrow and I may be of a different opinion. I hope not though.

If I was about to buy me a Reissue, is there a quick way to tell if the one I try out has a tuning problem? Besides playing like a mad man?

 

In my case the G string goes out of tune, usually sharp, within 5 minutes of tuning or playing. I can actually watch it go in and out of tune on the tuner seconds after registering in tune. Very frustrating. But thanks to all posts here I'll be having my guitar tech check the nut issue. I'll post the results tomorrow. Good luck with your search.
