Re: Les Paul and Tele tuning stability tips?

How do you string your guitars? In my experience it's always the nut. My '68 custom RI stayed in tune forever, but a few slots were cut too low. I had a bone nut put in, and the stability went comically backwards, which led to some anger towards the "luthier" who did it. I put a graph tech...

Cool unique shape. Early Yamaha made some crazy looking body styles. Love it.

Interesting. Oh well, on the watchlist it goes.

JB's posts are like the written equivalent of Ed Gein's mind. Possibly even that of Peter Kürten. Or even worse...Hunter Biden.
