I've had 2 Jackson DK's, one DK2M and could never keep the thing in tune. I've owned Floyds for several years, never could figure it out. Tried everything, even a tremel-no and nothing worked. Last thing I tried was to sharpen the knife edge's and it was better but still never worked completely. My DKMG absolutely will NOT go out of tune! It works fantastic, I couldn't be happier and haven't had to touch anything. I run 10-46 strings and after my initial setup it's perfect!
@AdamLeeGuitar That's the strange thing, they were the same and I set them both up, and had a tech try setting the one up as well. Never could address the problem and sold it. I've set up a lot of floyds and this was the only one I couldn't get to stay in tune.
I got a used DK2 (I think) that I was having the same problems with. I don't even use the tremolo much, but I bend a lot. So I had the tremolo blocked off by a tech and put some 11's on. Tuning problems are history.
@knatte9 the rga 32 costs around 350 euros for the 2011 series and the older ones if u can find em 300(the one i have) and for the other rga's i dont know what they cost
Great guitar demos guys and thanks for the videos but there is absolutely nothing scientific to any of this. Tests performed on one guitar to another were wildly different. On video 3 of 5 you are pulling on the strings but you don't do that on this video.
I've noticed Chappers sniffs every guitar - the look on his face when he sniffed his new ML2 Prototype 2 was priceless. I always think of Homer: "mmmmm Guitar"
chappers when u hit the huuuuuge long harmonic my dog was sitting beside me on the couch and immediately started buggin out and barking because of the frequency level. was quite awesome
@RobChappers I'm trying to get one for my seven string Schecter, you're a lucky lucky man getting to play about with all those guitars. I am truly envious.
I have that guitar!!! very good guitar, one of my main guitars at the moment. only problem is that within time the licenced floyd cant hold the tuning even with only a little whammy use... modified it with a OFR and EMG pickups and IT ROCKS!

Yeah, but the trem has already been blocked off. I didn't really plan on using it much when I got that guitar anyways.

@jess1541 I have read on forums that it's quite easy to replace J580LP with OFR R4 nut. Not much extra modifications necessary.
