Andre S Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Lately I have noticed on my les Paul the G String has been slipping in terms of tune, whenever I pick it up it is always a little flat, but enough to be audible to me...also the machine head feels loose at times when I'm adjusting the tuning. The others are alright. Is there anything that I can do to tighten it up to hold the tune better or should I swap it out? If I do I might change to the Kidney Bean style Grovers.

If I do I might change to the Kidney Bean style Grovers. tuning problems are usually in the nut. my R9 fell over one night and landed on the headstock (no break thank god). afterwards the D and G tuners were loose and wobbly, but they still stayed in tune. of course i have since swapped the klusons for USA Pat Pending kidney-bean Grovers ($75 on ebay!!!!). if you can find USA grovers for a good price, i think they are worth it. ymmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
