Peavey Wolfgang wont stay in tune...


I just got my new Wolfgang Standard last week. It had pretty bad fret Buzz so I adjusted the Truss Rod but that didnt work so I brought it in to get new strings. Well the buzz is gone but I have a tuning problem, as soon as I drop the bar the G D and sometimes A and B string go right out of tune!! It says the bridge has to sit flat on the guitar and the bass side can't touch the body before the treble side, well Ihave no idea how to tell if I have these problems! I just got it back from the shop yesterday, and well this sucks because the Wolfgang has to stay in tune and mine doesnt!!! Help thanks

Well when I push down where the fine tuners are the pitch goes up a tad, so does this mean its floating? How do I fix this?

You really need a setup from someone who has a little more experience than yourself. There are several articles in this forum, but you seem anxious and frustrated, and that could lead to drastic problems when doing a setup I would take it back to the store, pay the $50 or whatever the charge is, and get it all sorted out there on the spot.

That guitar will stay perfectly in tune is adjusted properly. Mine was not resting perfectly flat to the body which was causing the strings to go slightly flat when pulling the d-tuna...or the strings would go slightly sharp when I pushed down were the fine tuners are (like yours). I fixed it by taking off the spring cover and putting a vertical block between the trem and body. I just test fit one....tried it, which worked...so I glued it in and put the cover back on.

Good luck!
