I played in a band with a guy who used this as his main guitar for YEARS. He would spend up to 10 minutes of a 40 minute set tuning. He put a new bridge and locking tuners on it, and bought a boss pedal tuner. It still could not be properly intonated after hours of adjustment. He had a deep emotional attatchment to it because of the person who gave it to him, and we couldn't really ask him to get rid of it. We once spent 3 hours in a studio attempting to tune and adjust this guitar. He ended up using my guitar for the rest of the session. It was a happy day for us when it was stolen.
