Your neck might be bowed

Or your tuning pegs lose

Buy an Ibanez or something next time.

Ibanez is only good for heavy metal, and nothing else. Gibson (Epiphone) is good for almost every genre. (I like fender more though)

You should invest in some locking tuner pegs. It will cost a fair amount for decent ones, like Tramps said. It's worth it, though.

I completely agree, Ibanez guitars are just as versatile as Gibsons and Fenders. Ibanezes just look more Metally than others (At least RGs do) but I play Jazz and Blues on mine (Through a Boss ME-50) and it sounds great.

It's not the one that looks like an SG, it looks like a les paul

Try and play it softly. And make sure you play it in an average tempurature room, because heat and cold can knock it out of tune.
I can't think of any other ways bar for tuning pegs or whatever they're called, so yeah, whatever.

Ok, the 100 isnt a shitty guitar.
I've been playing one for 2 years and its been fine to me.
It gets better over time.
Replace all the strings, and make sure the new strings are put in properly.


Love me, hate me, y'know you wana bake me.
