chewy1281734128 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 has anyone has any issues with grover locking tuners? i got my work done on my sherry / sg (4 new pups, pics to follow) and my sherry had locking tuners put on by me, simple installation, although one of the screws wouldnt go in, had to use a gold one from the old stockm govers from the sherry. however, the tuning isnt locked at all. i got it back from the shop and he's re-strung them both with 10s, i usually play 11s but i had 2 sets of ernie ball 10s so i got him put them on. the g especially is out of tune a lot more than it used to be. i cant even play a song without it coming out of tune, unlike before. these strings have settled in now, they're weeks old but no improvement. just dawned on me though, i think he's installed them like normal strings.... they're wrapped around the peg, once- should they be?? i had major tuning problems during a gig, which was annoying, and in the studio, and ive got more gigs coming up. i think im gonna start again with a new set of 11s. anyone had any issue with locking tuners, or are they just probably strung up incorrectly?

[/quote'] I haven't used the Grovers, but I have Sperzels on a few of my guitars. The string just goes straight through the hole and gets locked, no wraps around the post. I assume the Grovers would work the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy1281734128 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 cheers, thats great. ive looked on youtube, nothing definite, but they dont look like they should be wraped around. i wasnt there when he did it, but silly me, assuming a guitar technician would actually know what he was doing... and i had to go back and have the neck p94 he installed re-soldered. dont think i'll go there in a hurry again.
