Agreed.I did try that other one that Tone Vise makes and didn’t like it, to me it felt like I needed to tweak it each time I used it.
I thought it was designed to work with FR's exclusively. Not sure about other floating trems.Ignorant question.
Does it require a Floyd or other trem at all?
I'm kind of a hard tail guy these days.
Could be humidity, the locking nut, knife edges, strings not stretched out enough. There are a lot of variables that it could be, my neck’s will move some if I’m not on top of the humidity levels in the music room and then I have to unlock and retune slightly. But most of the time I have zero issues. Have you had anyone check it out?I thought it was designed to work with FR's exclusively. Not sure about other floating trems.
On my original question, I meant that for some reason my current FR is having issues with tuning. Granted, I play the daylights out of it but I'm having to loosen the nut about once a week or two to get things straightened out tuning wise. The trem angle is set correctly, I had to raise the trem a small amount due to fret buzz when I received it (Charvel DK22). I'm just not sure what would be causing it and wondered if adding a D-Tuna would introduce even more problems.
Humidity-wise I live in Arizona where its pretty constant. Half of a semitone always happens. I've looked at the post/knife edges...looks decent. granted theres a black powder coat on it. In comparison to my 777, its night and day. I would have to leave that thing out in the rain for a week or so for it to be that out of tune. I did bust down and send it to someone who actually gets paid to do adjustments. I guess we'll see what happens.Could be humidity, the locking nut, knife edges, strings not stretched out enough.

i dont believe that's correct. i believe youre supposed to unscrew all the way and then make 2 full turns. then, in drop d, tune all strings. then push the dtuna back in and tune the E string again, this time using the micro allen wrench to adjust tuning.(Fine tuning adjustment screw needs to be all the way backed out, tune to D first, etc).
I feel a stable neck is key also.
My thumbscrew is backed out as far as it can go....i dont believe that's correct. i believe youre supposed to unscrew all the way and then make 2 full turns. then, in drop d, tune all strings. then push the dtuna back in and tune the E string again, this time using the micro allen wrench to adjust tuning.
Technically, you’re correct but turning the fine tuner in 1-2 turns allows you to have some tuning adjustment after tightening the nut.My thumbscrew is backed out as far as it can go....
Whatever works I guess.
For those that care for the actual instructions:

And that is where the problem occurs and to me was the issue with the tone vise, when you put the fine tuner in play your adding something else that can move and change the tuning then you end up chasing your tail. But everyone works stuff different and if that works for you then that’s cool.Technically, you’re correct but turning the fine tuner in 1-2 turns allows you to have some tuning adjustment after tightening the nut.
