RG1570L Problem


Im having an odd problem with my Ibanez, whenever I press the tremolo down(divebomb) I can hear a popping sound coming from the nut... Im not sure how to explain it. It just sounds like a snapping sound..or something popping.

There arent any tuning or intonation problems though. Sometimes its loud enough to come out of the amp too.

Any ideas? The warranty of course just ran out last month.

Re: RG1570L Problem


sometimes it's the trussrod. when you take all the tension off the strings by divebombing, the trussrod/neck shifts slightly causing a sound. very annoying. try to divebomb the trem while you have a finger on the back of the neck and see if you can feel it when it makes that crack sound.
other than that...is your locking nut loose? check the 2 screws that hold it down.
if you're comfortable adjusting the trussrod, i would just give it a slight turn and see if it's loose, or if it finds a better spot and stops making that noise. but just like 1/4 turn.
1/2 turn max. you can always put it back to where it was if it doesn't do anything.
