No I would not do that. While trying to tune it over and over with even stagger tuning the strings keep going flat so the springs keep pulling and you can watch it move into the body. Heck, no wonder I cannot tune it - it's broken. One of the spring screws (the wood screws) has pulled out of the wood. Pretty small screws to hold back that much tension. This was the stock 3 spring setup. How can they expect these to hold 5 springs? Oh that's serious. Your guitar is made of basswood, which is a soft wood which can have trouble keepin prats that have been screwed in. Now, this I never heard of before but when you hear of a problem people have with their basswood guitars (most Ibanez) it usualy has something to do with the strap locks coming loose (besides the tremolo issues people have) and this is much the same issue. The wood can't hold a screw. You should have it returned! If they force you to keep it for some reason the fix would be a larger and longer screw. You may have to drill a larger hole in the metal piece that they keep. Maybe go for a Les Paul model next? (Stronger wood and no tremolo) Or if you really want a tremolo there's Jackson who makes their guitar mostly from Adler. -------------------- My bands homepage
