There is a first time for everything!

I'd recommend keeping it tuned up for at least week or so before reverting. Those Magnum necks are pretty stiff courtesy of the graphite strip....

Not sure. Pretty generic round wound looking as they have gold ends on the bridge side and no wrap on the tuner end.

Evan,

You were right once, so we'll have to keep following your direction..that is until the headstock snaps :shock:

Tune it up ½ step higher than normal and see how that goes for a week.
