Happy New Year to everyone!!!

Today, I am free and dunno what to write about guitar; err what about how to stable the tune of your double locking system or termolo locking system guitar??? Myself, I love termolo locking system guitar so much!!!...And when I attend many live gigs I saw many of the guitar player can play very well but do not know how to stable the termolo locking system guitar's tunning and many of my friends who own termolo locking system have trouble when changing their strings or put on new set of strings into their locking system guitar; even one time I went to the guitar shop the tech there do not know how to tune my guitar, I end up myself have to teach him and bring back and redo the things all by myself.

Before going into the double locking system guitar(termolo locking system)...let me brief what is double locking system guitar??? Why some people like me love it so much???

Double locking system guitar, once they set the tuning they locked up the strings with the nuts from the guitar; the guitar player play with the term arm will have more excitements, can bend all the away with the term arm yet back with fine tunning...and with double locking system guitar, guitar player can make the guitar scream more, like Vai, Joe Satriani and others. That's what I love about double locking system guitar!!!

When you change the strings or put one new set of strings on your double locking system guitar you either can change one string by one (recommand for person who new in this type of guitar) or take it all off and put on the new one.

If you change one string by string, one string at a time, you will be safe from balancing up the term bridge; if you take out all strings at once and clean it and put on new set of strings, first you have to balance the term bridge. You could find some paper cardboard to stuck under the term bridge, secure and balance the term bridge, then put on the strings one by one. CAUTION do not put on the strings without secure or balance the term bridge!!! If you do that you will be end up with never get the fine tune of your double locking system guitar.

After you secure and balance up the term bridge and finish up putting new set of strings, you have to be very patience to pull strings by strings tight; then go for tunning, you must remember that at first time you will not get the fine tune, you have to tune to close to the note then move to other strings then back tune again. after each of the strings get to closest tune then you play the guitar, pull, bend the strings and play with the term arm back and forward, then tune again, by repeating this till you get fine tunning. For my s-series, I repeat this process about 3~5 times then lock the nuts (do not lock the nut too tight/strong, enough force) then tune again. The bridge have tunner as well, when you losen up the strings you will put the bridge tunner into middle position, becoz' you will need to tune again when you lock the strings; then play the guitar again, with bend the term arm back and forwards and bend the strings then tune again. This need alot of patience and time after you secure the tune you will get a very stable tune with double locking system guitar and Have Fun with it!!!!

tips --- I personally strong you guys use 0.10 instead of 0.09, 0.10 will have more stable tune, richer tone, longer lasting life compare to 0.09's.

Rockon!!
