How do I keep the G String from slipping
Posted by Mike on Sat, 06/26/04 - 12:39:22.
I have an Epiphone LP Special. It has a good feel and great sound but there is so much slippage on the G String that I am afraid to bend the string. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep the thing in tune? I don't really want to spend money on replacing the tuning keys, unless that's the only way.

Try tightening the tuners, if you have what i think you have you can tighten the nut around the key and it should slow it down a bit but otherwise id invest in some sperzle locking tuners. Trevor

are you sure its the tuner slipping? have you got the string wound around the tuner enough times? needs about 5 windings making sure the string winds over itself at least once. to check the tuners try swapping the G tuner for the D tuner, if that starts slipping then you can buy an individual tuner from your local guitar shop. i personaly would bother with locing sperzels, they look horrible on a les paul, always replace your guitar parts with original replacements.
