My guitar goes out of tune while using the
tremolo:
1.Please check first whether the string lock
screw is ghtened, as with dive bombs the
string moves in the tuning finger and may
not return to their original posi on again.
2. Then please review whether the two
saddle lock screws a ached to the side of
the tremolo base plate are ght. These
prevent movement of the saddles.
3. Please check that all saddle insert screws
are ghtened too.
4.
Other reasons that can affect tuning
stability significant:
The tuning stability of a guitar requires the
combina on of quality components and
their professional adjustment.
Please always use the original ABM
accesories like posts, sleeves, tremolo
springs, spring claw and moun ng screws.
They are carefully matched for a perfect
common func on.
Are the locking screws of the Lock nut
ght? Regarding standard nuts: Are the
strings fixed at the machine heads well?
Are the string notches of the nut ok? Or
does the string stuck there?
In connec on with a locking tremolo, either
a locking nut should be used or a well
notched quality nut in combina on with
high quality lock tuners.
Unfortunately, machine heads o en
contradict the goal of ensuring tuning
stability, since the strings can loosen on the
tuner axis during dive bombs or do not
snap back into the exact former posi on.
You also find so many guitar tuners on
electric guitars that have too much play in
their axis, gear or knob, so that detuning is
unavoidable, if you do not use a locking
nut. It is always worth inves ng in good
guitar machine heads.
