Staying in tune with cheaper hardware

Richard (errant_jedi) - 01 Dec 2003 16:53:21

I own two six-strings: a Squier Jagmaster and a
Cyclone II. On the Jagmaster I have the trem locked
down and I use the trem (pretty tight with four
springs; strat style trem) on my Cyclone. The
Jagmaster stays in tune really well, but the Cyclone
tends to come out rather quickly, especially when I
work the trem. I tried redistributing the springs but
that didn't really make much of a difference. There
also doesn't seem to be any real pattern to it when it
goes out. Sometimes the high strings go way out while
the low strings stay put, sometimes the opposite, and
sometimes the high strings go sharp (this last one
baffles me). I asked my tech and he said to chalk it
up to it being Mexican; upgrade the hardware, get a
new guitar, or learn to live with it. Do any of you
Strat players have a similar problem?
