MAN, I'm starting to have issues with my Floyds on the Ibanez and Charvel. Used to be, once I had them set up properly (I took them to a tech to do it, changed my own strings) I could count on them staying somewhat in tune. I play with a lot of string bends and double stops, so I'd have to tweak the fine tuners about every 2-3 songs, and could do it in a few seconds. No big deal. Went to band practice the other night (the 18th), and couldn't hold a tune for a FULL song, much less the 2-3 song standard...

The Simple Solution would be to have the guitars set up again and relegate them to back up duty, which is where they were... but the ESP (with the 2 piece TOM and stop tailpiece bridge and rock steady tuning) is currently on the fritz with a bad jack, pickup switch and volume knob.

So, now I'm stuck with three nonfunctioning guitars, and that's no good.

Sorry about the whiny rant, guys... Had to vent to folks that might "feel my pain.":mad:
