Why is the G string the hardest to tune?

Why is the G string the hardest to tune?

It's the thickest non-wound string, so it goes out of tune easier

Because your gf wears it and she complains about it all the time.

Jagmaster when?

cause it's the string you bend the most in rock.blues based crap.

goodness the jagstang is hideous

lol dood, dont u mean yer mom

I don't think I've ever seen anyone play one with the exception of Courtney Love.

Molly Rankin plays a red one sometimes.

I thought it was just a regular Mustang?

The guitarist in R.E.M. played it

Idk but it's easy to finger A minor

In their KEXP vid she has a red jagstang. Can't recall if she uses it the whole time or not.

You just described a Mustang you piece of trash.

Jazzmaster > Jaguar > Mustang > Jag-Stang

> not using a wounded g string

the dude from UMO plays one too

because you didn't stretch it properly

or because you should lubricate your nut or string tree

or because it's pretty easy esp on staggered pole pieces strats for one of the pickups to be too high, making the string warble bc of the magnet

Pro tip, if you can't decide whether to tune it higher or lower because it just doesn't sound right, tune it a hair lower and it's perfect.

you didn't stretch the strings enough. like you literally have to pull up on each string when you put a new set on and stretch them out a bit so they hold their tuning. get a tuner, stretch a string out (lay the guitar flat, pull string away from fretboard), tune, stretch them out, tune, etc, until you get the tuning where it's relatively stable. be careful doing this with the top B and E strings, they break easily.

1. 2. Its pitch falls within the tonal range to which human ears are the most sensitive.
3. Compromises with the intonation causing the G-string (and to a lesser extent, the B-string) to go sharper the further away you get from the nut
