Help, Floyd Tuning Issue
Hey all, I've run into a problem on my 99, LTD M-300, which is stock outside of SD pups. I took it into a store that was having a promotion that if you buy 2 or more sets of strings they would install one of the sets and do a quick set up.
I had them install a new set of Dean Markley 11-52 strings, which is what was on there before and he did a quick once over on the guitar. I now he tightened the screws in the back cavity.
I went to play it last night and noticed that I couldn't get a clear note on my high E string at around the 17th fret. I tried to continue playing and the high E string popped out from the Floyd and all the other strings went out of tune by a whole step or more while playing :mad:.
I had this also happen months ago with a new LTD MH-327 and I eventually took it back and that store/tech lost my business.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't know if this is a set up problem or a floyd problem.
What screws in the back cavity did he adjust? The only thing I can think of is the screws that hold the trem springs. In which case that wouldn't have anything to do with your problem. I bet he didn't tighten the high E block enough and the string pulled out. The dead fret problem was probably already there unless he put on heavier gauge strings.
Is it a tuning issue or a dead fret issue. Sounds like the later. You may need a complete setup.
