Hi,
Looking for some advice on a guitar I just bought from eBay, it's second hand (about 6 months old?) but appears to be barely used, it's in great condition. The problem is when I was tuning it up it doesn't seem to stay in tune, especially if you move the tremelo. For example it you move the tremolo down it stays flat (doesn't return to the same place) and likewise if you move the tremolo up is stays sharp.
I've taken the back off to have a look to find what appears to be a couple of damaged springs? Do you think this is the cause of the problems and fitting two new springs will fix the problem completely?
I'm assuming these springs will be readily available from Ibanez? I would probably replace all three for consistancy.
The guitar in question is an Ibanez GEO, here's a pic of the springs and also a pic of the bridge area for reference:-
