Locking tuners unless I have a locking nut.

Damn, that's a really good point. Glad you mentioned it, that sounds like the most likely cause of the OP's problem.

Me looking at these purple guitars:

Here's my LTD 256FM and my Jackson X-Series Kelly KEX. The LTD has Dimarzio Sonic Ecstacy HBs and the Jackson has a Nazgul/Sentient combo.

My brother gifted me a 2003 Squier Affinity strat he came across a few months ago. I did what I do and modded the sh*t out of it. All electronics including the ground wire got yanked. Put in Duncan Lipstick Tubes and a Fender Shawbucker. Then put on Graphtech saddles and Fender locking...

I use to play DRs exclusively on my electrics. I still think they sound and feel the best. But I kept getting a dead string or a buzzy string. Swap it and it was fine. But i got so annoyed I switched to GHS. Is anyone playing DRs right now, and have you had any string quality issues?

Looks good. bro.

Excellent guitar, Bruce! I have the KM6 which comes with Blackenend Black Winters instead of the Nazgul/Sentient. Mine is in white. Great guitar. Although, I do like the Nazgul/Sentient combo a little more.

I'm a tad younger... ish. First time I noticed one was in 1995. Dave Grohl. I had to have one from that day forward. Still my favorite guitar shape.

I was peering in my PRS Custom 22's electronics cavity and spotted the Treble Bleed Mod. Some versions I have seen not only use a 180 pfd cap but a 150k ohm resistor. What is the resistor for? Clearly Paul didn't think it was necessary, so what is it doing and why do some people want to add...

Hey fellas, I have a strat wired up standard with SSS pickups. Only thing that's different s a push-pull switch for reversing the phase of the missle pickup. But going out of phase really drops the volume substantially. I'd like to wire it so either I can have the pickups be in-series when I...

Hey everyone! Before I go firing up my soldering iron I wanted to see if I am on the right track. I have a strat with an HSS setup with all Duncans as follows:. APH-1 Humbucker (Full-size A2P), a Duncan SLS-1 RWRP lipstick tube, and a Duncan SLS-1 lipstick tube. I got my dirty little mitts...
