Can't get my guitar in tune..

Unread post by whatshername » Sat Apr 17, 2004 10:09 pm

Lately I've been having a shitload of trouble getting my guitar in tune. And I don't have some cheap guitar either, I have a Martin. Do I need to tighten something..or what's the deal? There are screws on the end of the tuning knobs. I need to fix this somehow! Help?

Well the obvious answer would be new strings but I have a feeling you wouldn't post if that were it.
Unless the tuners are really loose I wouldn't touch 'em.
Have you been taking it outside or exposed it to a lot of humidity/temp. changes?

I take every gif I watch (which is A LOT) with a humongous grain of salt. But I don't let that grain of salt get into my eye and blind me to whatever truth can be found in what I'm watching. He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
