here's a "blown up" diagram of the stand. This should help with any questions regarding assembly. I've printed a bunch of them out and will include one with each stand.

Check the screws attaching the endplates to the body and those attaching the changer and tuning head to the body. Wood screws work loose over time and can definitely cause tuning issues. Good luck. | |

Bobby's got it right in his clear and concise post. I'd add that any instability experienced from larger cores or unwound strings....is in the guitar itself and not in the string. | |
