Hey everybody and Happy New Year!
I bought a really inexpensive guitar (Ibanez GSA60) some time back and it has been a great guitar for the price I paid (somewhere around $160US). I do have one problem and that is the tuning. It just will not stay in tune. Like I said, it's pretty cheap, with a non-locking tremolo system, etc. I am using D'Addario strings and have never had a problem with them before. Does anyone know if this is something I can fix relatively cheap? I'm not willing to put a lot of money into this for two reasons: 1. I don't have it. 2. By the time I do have the money, I hope to be advancing along enough to warrant buying a nicer model. Any ideas / feedback is greatly appreciated. wink.gif
