    I hope @Matic is ok. He hasn't been on since the 18th. Last time he disappeared it wasn't good.:fingerscrossed:

    I've seen some of the comments that folks have suggested and they've hit most of the common culprits. Graphite in the nut slots and saddle grooves (less is more) is a good place to start. The nut slots might need to be polished more, if you hear any pinging while you tune then that is definitely the case. Sometimes running an old piece of each string along their slot can mitigate the issue, but ultimately you'll want a tech to truly polish them because that trick really only works for the wound strings.

    Stock strings should be changed out for sure. Make sure you keep tension on the string as you wind it on the post because any slack there will give you problems for the life of that string. I use the typical knot technique on my posts and my SG is incredibly stable, always has been for the 17 years since I got it. I'm sure YouTube has plenty of videos on that. If the note goes sharp while tuning, always go back below the note, tug on the string to remove slack from the post, then tune back up to pitch. Not trying to lecture you, just making sure we cover all the "best practices"!

    Gibsons are a different beast when it comes to tuning stability, but most problems are solvable or chalked up to user error. If you take it back in to a tech make sure to mention your tuning issues in detail. Good luck, let us know what you find, and enjoy that LP!
