..have been messing around with my floyd rose II system for a while, not being able to get the high E string to stay in tune. Yesterday i finally found out where the problem is. Got an advice earlier to check out the nut, since (i thought) i had checked everything else, but the nut was fine. It holds the strings well. What happens is that the string unwinds itself from the "ball" (if this is the right term) at the bridge end.. This happens gradually.
I know this sounds strange, but it has happened with three strings, so its not a bad string causing this.
The string goes slightely out of tune, i tune it up with the finetuner, it goes a tiny bit lame again, i tune it up, and after some bending and pulling of the arm it goes pow!, and the string slips off of the "ball", and the ball flies across the room !!
Never heard of this before, and am wondering if anybody have, and what the solution might be... ? Weird shit....
(sorry for the length of this....)
