ibanez GSA60 goes out of tune
Hi all!
I got the ibanez GSA60 really really cheap and it looks decent (it's my first electric) but there is a problem with going out of tune. Is there anything I could do to keep it in tune longer?
Okie.

First thing to do is change the crappy strings it comes with. Some people have trouble with the Wilkinson trem. One solution is to lock it down. Another is to put on heavier strings and add another spring to make it more stable. Take it to a tech to make sure the trem is set up right. Here are some reviews for it.

Its what happens when you don't have a Floyd Rose. Or Edge. Just be careful with the trem. And remember, all trems will detune evne a slight bit. Even a "real Mccoy" floyd will. Its the nature of it.

Have been researching Ibanez, (I want a 3/4 size Mikro) and it seems like some of their cheapest models, including the Mikro, have really crappy tuning machines that won't stay in tune. I am wondering if Grovers will fit an Ibanez? Will I have to drill out holes?

Even my RG370DX goes out of tune alot but today my instructor set it up for me and abuseed the whammy RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME to prove to me he did it well.

I have the GSA60 for about a year now and it stays in tune pretty well.
I dont use the whammy bar that much though.
