i wonder what is ACTUALLY more important to tuning stability, locking tuners or the right nut. i am planning a build at the moment, and deciding whether to go with earvana nut and locking tuners (like my first build), or go with normal grover tuners and a graphtec nut.
my first build has the planet waves tuners, which i think are great. i also think they are pretty... unnecessary? i find that they (combined with the earvana) have no better tuning stability than my cheap epiphone sg. the build i am planning is kind of on a budget (the aussie dollar is crap), so i was planning on cutting costs (hence the graphtec nut and grover tuners), but i need something that is going to hold its tuning for a whole gig. my first build isnt BAD at this, but it's no better than the average guitar.
anybody got an opinion on the graphtec nut and grover tuners? i realise that a lot of tuning issues come from the strings "sticking" at the nut, do the graphtec nuts really improve as much as i'd imagine them to?
