I'm now stretching the strings like a mad man It's very hard to tune it even if bridge is tuned fine, you have to tighten strings all the time, one is going up and another is going down,tune wise. But once you get it done,and I'm sure you will then just be careful when changing strings, be sure to use same gauge and even same brand. One string at the time as said. Once again,if you have major issues with it then I would listen to advice above, take it to some music shop and let them do the job, watch what they are doing and try to memorize all steps in process. -------------------- Youtube

Okay, thanks... I have a question tho, again Why is it that the lower E string is kind high on the fret and the high E strings more in the middle of the fret board, It's like the the Lower E almost comes out, that the are not centered.... Did that make any sense Not sure if got that right,could you post a picture? -------------------- Youtube

Did that make any sense If I got it right I think that your action is set too much diagonally. At least on my Ibanez one can set indepedently the lower and upper part of the bridge, leading to several possible diagonal arrangements. But anyway, I would follow Muris advice and take to a guitar tech. If he is a friendly one he will also help you learning how you can do some adjustements yourself later. -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

It's not too late to return it and get a PRS Mira for the same money. Stop tail bridge means NO further trouble.
Between a PRS and an Ibanez I'd get the PRS 10 times out of 10, hands down. But that's me. And if Gibson still made their doublecuts it would stand between that and a doublecut PRS. -------------------- My bands homepage

Oh Yeah, Everything is fine now I took the guitar to the store this morning, and they fixed it, it was just minor error, the neck was a little wrong, that's why the strings weren't centered to the fretboard.... He also showed me how to tune it, so next time I should be able to do it myself And all for free of course Now I'm learning Always with you, Always with me by Satriani, and I'm having a blast Cheers Great to hear, have fun with your new guitar! -------------------- Youtube
