Hey!

Anyone know what I can do to elliminate slippage in my autotrim tuners?  They start to slip while near pitch.  It happens from the G to E string...

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!

The only time I've ever had tuner slippage has been when the screw has been loose on them.  As LP mentioned, try tightening the screw a bit better on them.

Did these come pre-installed on your instrument, or did you or a guitar pro install them on it?

I installed them on a nice Warmoth neck with the holes drilled to match the tuner size.  They are tight.  I think the problem might be in how tight I adjusted the locking screw.  I really didn't want to tweak them down really hard...Looks like trying to be gentle doesn't work with these
