For the past 15 years I’ve been putting graphite (pencil lead) in the nut slots before changing the strings. I do this with acoustics too and I NEVER HAVE TUNING ISSUES. Nut sauce is another option but it is expensive and it doesnt perform as good as graphite in my opinion. Tuning your G string up would also help like the video suggests. I’m just trying to help people.

I sent mine to Gibson and when I got it back it played like a different guitar. They redid the set up and said the action was too high causing intonation and tuning stability issues. The action is really low now as LP's are suppose to be... It's rock solid now and sounds so much better and plays like butter. I love it again when before I was about to sell it. They included a spec sheet with their recommendation set up and string gauge etc.

If it,s just been restrung or the strings loosened for laying up in the case then the string could just be settling, that might just be me because i always wind my first turn over the string and then go under which solves any tuning problems other than a bad nut but can lead to string breakage.

Another thing to check out is the angle of the groove on the nut. If it's straight parallel to the neck, it doesn't stay in tune as well. In contrast, having the slot cut at an angle towards the tuner can help. I replaced the brass zero fret on my 2015 LP Studio with a TUSQ zero fret with angled grooves from Graph Tech and my tuning stability massively improved.

All you have to do to permanently fix that issue is to take a small file and run in through the G string nut slot and put a slight angle on the outgoing side towards that tuner peg and you won't have the issue again.

Dang I've been winding up my entire life and I just assumed everyone did that. And amazingly my guitars always stayed in tune. And, when I'm tuning any given string, I tune UP to the note. If you go past the note, bring it back below and pick the note as you raise the pitch until it's dialed in.
@arthurblackhistoric
@arthurblackhistoric 3 жыл бұрын
And that exact issue is the whole problem with robot tuners. They tune down to pitch if the string is too sharp. We MUST allow for the contractile property of the string by lowering the pitch below correct tuning and then bring it back up.
@snap-off5383
@snap-off5383 2 жыл бұрын
and tune the LOUD part of the note, not the faded off parts, because strings go flat as they lose energy. That insight made my tuning sound so much better, tune the beginning of the note, play it as hard as you would at your max forte parts, and hit it over and over, tuning that part of the note each time. Crystalline perfect tuning.

REducing the break angle reduces the tension on the bite points letting the tuner do its job easier, another great tip for 3x3 headstocks is making sure the nut slots are angled from the fretboard towards the tuner and NOT straight on the nut as that just creates another binding point

Makes sense. The string at the top of the tuning post places more angle pressure on the post helping it to tilt and lock against the wall of the tuning mechanism. The G string is the most common to detune because it is bent more often during lead riffs.

Lessening the break angle between the stop bar and bridge helps as well. Also helps the feel of the strings for a more slinky and easier feel on bends. But to little tension can reduce tuning stability so just have to find a balance.

@christopheranderson2158 3 жыл бұрын
Good pointer! Now....what if you have locking tuners? Try this......before restringing, take the D string (wound) and run it into the slot for the G string on the nut. Many nuts are cut too shallow or are just tight enough to cause the G to bind. Run it through a few times to just barely open the slot. Don’t use a file unless you know what you’re doing!! It’s very easy to cut too deep with a file and then you are going to need to replace the nut. Now.....because the binding issue is normally caused by the lateral break angle instead of a vertical one, you may need to pull that D string in the G slot while pulling it down at the same angle it tracks to the tuning peg. That will ease the opening edge of the nut where the G string meets the nut and then breaks at an angle to the post. Apply some nut lube.....restring.....and test it out. That has worked on my Gibsons and I rarely have tuning issues anymore.

I have always wound the G string on Les Paul, ES and SG guitars above the tuning peg hole and this has helped tuning stability on that string. You can also replace the Nylon or Graphtec nut with a bone nut and get a good tech to file the slots at an angle to match the angle that the strings travel to the tuning peg.

I will try this and hopefully I won’t get that sitar effect because of changing the strings break angle over the nut with the top wrap. Obviously you haven’t had any of these with your Gibson’s so we have nothing to lose to try it. Thanks for the tip!!

I put a rolling bridge, locking tuners and a string butler on my Tribute LP, which had very poor tuning stability, and now is olid as a rock. Not sure if it was the rolling bridge, the locking tuners or the string butler, or the combination of the 3, but the improvement is insane. From losing tuning after a couple of bends to keep it for even weeks.

I create and cut new bone nuts with the string slot pointing directly to the tuning pegs which solves this issue. It's not quite as easy as it sounds keeping the string spacing perfect but this is where experience and a good luthier (me) helps. Good tip though Robert! Lessening the string angle (just not too much) is always best no matter the guitar to prevent tuning issues.

On my '74 LP Custom, same issue when I bought it in 85. Fixed the issue by winding up w 3 wraps on G, B,E ...AND putting Chapstick as a lube packed in the nut slots after stretching and in tune ( brass nut on mine). I've wailed on the strings - including extensive pulls above the nut all-night on stage without ill effects on tuning.

Interesting tip, I will try the trick next time i'll change strings on my LP. Some say that the angle of LP's headstock is the secret to it's sustain. Did you notice any effect on that; I mean that wraping the string UP, cancels the low angle of the headstock, leading to less pressure on the nut, which in it's turn (if the original hypothesis is right) will lead to less sustain. Any thoughts on that; Thank you!

Wow, that`s a great tip, thanks! Hopefully I can finally take my SG Junior on stage without worrying about staying in tune. 😇

Something I found when tuning up: Let each tuner adjustment settle in. It can take a few seconds for the tension to even out on each side of the nut.

I never worry about tuning on my Gibson. It’s a 2015 and I kept the robo tuners. The guitar gets a lot of flack from snobs, but I love it.

A broken switch is how I bought a $900 guitar for $500! The guy didn't want to mess with it, so he just wanted to get rid of it. I fixed it with a new switch myself, sold it for $750, 6 years later! Good return on investment

Nice. I got 30% off from a dealer from a Gibson with 1 messy volume pot that turns off at 2 and comes back up at 0. I don’t use the lower end of my volume pots so it really isn’t anything for me. I could fix it for like $20 but I couldn’t be bothered yet.

I bought an Aria Pro ES-335 style guitar for $100 from a pawn shop because it had a non-working selector switch. I convinced him that the whole guitar was knackered and needed a re-wire! I took it home and tightened the jack socket and the selector switch and it worked perfectly!
