i think it might be tuners, you are putting more strength now with the fatter strings and it can't handle it.
my suggestion, get a set of locking tuners -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers! Got a Blog too!, www.adriantracks.com Follow me on facebook and youtube! -Youtube |

Strange. My Epiphone SG stays fine with 10s, no problem. Grover tuners from factory.
Maybe they install low quality tuners on recent models now? -------------------- Guitars:

First thing you should do with any new guitar is bin the crap factory strings and get a good setup on it, seriously! Could be anything on the guitar that is doing this, get it to a luthier and get a full setup on it, you wont believe the difference it can make! Yeah I also think you should do this! Luther should help you determine the source of the problem and possible fix. Also its always good to have a well setup guitar! -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

- Take a screwdriver and tighten the screws on the tuner
- make 3 windings around the machine head see if that helps This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: May 28 2010, 02:05 AM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Yea, I had this problem when it had .10s on it but it was not as bad as it is now. If it's even worse with thicker strings I'd say it's the nut that's squeezing the string too hard. Needs to be filed up. You could first try to put some graphite in it (from a pencil) -------------------- My bands homepage
