Floyd question

[Thoraby]

So I got real pissed with my Kramer Nightswan not staying in tune, so I said fuck it and decided to pick it apart. After I ripped off the strings, springs, nut, Floyd and neck I noticed something. The screws which hold and adjust the spring-holding-claws have some play in them.

Now is it possible that this causes the floyd to not stay in tune? [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]
It would make sense, since I practically screwed those screws all the way in when I changed to a heavier string gauge, and that's when the problems appeared.

If this is likely, is the toothpick/match with glue a good method to remedy this?

Thanx a million, I like you all very much.

Re: Floyd question

That is a great place to start. Toothpicks should work fine.

Just remember, this may be the whole problem, or just a part of the problem. Also check the studs, knife edges and locking nut for wear. You can doooo iittttt!
