    I got the Axcess back again..

    I have the Axcess back again.
    The owner says it keeps going out of tune to the point where the fine tuners are maxed out and he has to loosen the nut locks to tune it.

    I'm thinking that the nut locks are slipping, or the springs are stretching too much. I'll check the string blocks at the bridge too to see if they show signs of slipping.

    Any other ideas from you Floyd experts?

    Make sure the nut itself is mounted to the guitar tightly. It can loosen up and cause tuning issues (though not exactly as you described).

    Ok, I'll check that.

    I fixed it... Gibson put on a couple of bad nut locks.
    One did not even clamp down on the string. Strange, because it was the lock that locked down on the G and D string. It clamped on the G string, but not the D. And the D is a thicker string... Who would have though?

    Who? Anyone who has bought a Gibson recently. I have seen any number of issue from obvious to the obtuse like your issue
