The Settings Remain The Same:

So, I assume you are saying your neck has a 1.75" nut width?

@chilipeppermaniac - Be sure to go check out the solution thread:

" When Stratocaster Nuts Drive You Nuts."
Click to expand...

THE FUNNY thing I was going to say is. I wonder if Robert will take a bit of joking in good spirits. As I was editing my last post to include WHERE I first saw the 1.75 inch nut mentioned, I came across yet another thread regarding the same guitar. " When Stratocaster Nuts Drive you Nuts" "Keeping the 6 screw Trem in Tune" I almost wanted to say " When looking for info on the same guitar in 10 different threads drives you nuts." I sure would like ONE thread and have it all inclusive of all the details start to finish. Kind of like I go to the Movies to watch Gladiator, and 45 minutes in, it ends and I am told I must leave the theater and come back another time for the next installment before Russell Crow tells Joaqiun Phoenix to call him GLADIATOR.

In other words, I find it easier to follow ONE thread from start to finish while discussing a topic over say 100 different threads one must guess at where they saw something.

Kind of like Henry Ford saying you can have any color Model T as long as it is Black. Today's cars past 1980's I cannot keep up with all the hundreds of models they make anymore. So, NOW I head over to Installment number 632 ,,,,,,,,,, "When Strat nuts drive you nuts..."

You make a valid point and the only reason I switched was the title in this thread was unrelated to the trouble I was having...

Robert, I usually follow yours or anyone's logic for additional Threads or titles. AND if one mentions guys who are ANAL about thread jacking type posts, like guys who whine when folks mention ANYTHING remotely different than a thread title discusses, ( I have encountered them in Ford, BMW, etc mechanics type forums and other Cork Sniffing Guitar forums) I am not bothered at seemingly unrelated subject matter. Likewise, I am not anal about if one does make multiple threads about what I would think is essentially the same Truck, Guitar Neck, etc. I just struggle a little to find just where the heck I saw a comment among 150000 other comments in this forum or the dozen other ones I may frequent. HECK, I even have trouble finding my own messages.

And now, I get to change all my settings because I'm covering the other guitar players sections, so I need a clean tone.

Feels so strange to have no punch...
 
As on my new guitar day thread, the Godin with whammy bridge actually stays in tune very well, I suspect because of headstock design. The strings go almost directly straight to the tuners. No angles n stiff. I am extremely surprised. Locking tuners as well.

Awesome!!!

It's not really the headstock design - it's having the correct profile and shape in the nut slots.

I'm constantly adding tremolo dives to songs, 11 semitones all the way to the pickguard, and I do four or five per set.

Tuning is always dead-nutz...

But having strings go straight through to tuners will help. You had to modify the nut slots quite a bit to keep that low E in tune on that one guitar. This is brand new stock. This puppy gets the low E completely slack amd comes back to pitch.
I am impressed. I was not expecting nearly as much.
My thing is that I can't work with fine tools and adjust the nut. With a brand new guitar, if it didn't stay in tune, do I even want to keep it? Hope it can be adjusted?
I guess if one wants to introduce tuning issues, use a Les Paul string angle!

Have you guys tried 8's on your guitar? I had to do a whole set up around them and it was just to see. 8's go out of tune easily until the neck is adjusted. If you like to bend over? Get 8's. Wait....what?

A straight path through the nut still won't help if the nut isn't cut properly.

Les Paul??? Look at an Explorer headstock!!!
