Well, it's been about a week since I last played the '73 F-512 that Tom fixed up for me. Good golly Miss Mollie, every one of those 12 strings was still in tune!

P.S. Merci, Tom. :tears_of_joy:

Educate me. Is that unusual for you? My basses and Mrs. Fro's sixes routinely stay in tune for weeks. A couple (but not all) of the instruments may slip (but not always) from "concert pitch" but the relative tuning (string to string) is still good. I think the D-25-12 (which is tuned to concert and not a step low) is similarly stable but since Mrs. Fro checks the tuning every time she plays and it has been getting a lot of attention lately I'm not completely certain.

Thanks.
