Most stable all-pull guitar
This is probably gonna have a vast array of answers but I was wanting opinions of the best guitar that stays in tune tbe best
My 78 push pull is the best I have ever seen for staying in tune but that’s a push-pull for you. I am wanting to a new modern guitar. I’ve really tempted to get that new MSA tour Pro 10 and 6. Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated

Mullen G2 & Discovery here
I couldn't agree more Craig. Not only are they very stable but you can get them in tune. By that I mean, you don't need compensators for over return issues.

I've had several, including a PP, Franklin and GFI (both keyed and keyless). The most "stable" for me was the GFI Ultra D-10 keyed version.

Skip, I really wanted to be there. On Monday night, I started getting chest congested, so on Tuesday I thought I should just be careful and got a Covid rapid test at CVS. Imagine my surprise and dismay when it came back POSITIVE. So that sealed the deal and I contacted the TSGA on Wednesday and told them I couldn't attend.Skip Edwards wrote:Herb, you mean before it was rodded, strung & played?
Missed you in Dallas...
I'm triple vaxxed, so the effects of the disease weren't severe at all; just a head/chest cold and not even a bad one at that. Matter of fact, today is one week since discovery and I'm already over it and feeling fine. But my disappointment at missing the show and the cameraderie still lingers.

You will get a million opinions. Most of the modern guitars such as Mullen, MSA, Infinity, Williams,Jackson are all stable and play and sound great. Of course the more changes you put on any guitar the more opportunity for tuning issues.

I agree totally with that. Most all modern guitars are quite stable as long as they are set up and maintained properly, and the strings are installed properly.Johnny Cox wrote:You will get a million opinions.

Hysteresis has been the bane of my existence, especially on the 4th string of E9th. I'm happy to say that on new Sierra guitars by Ross Shafer, the problem is well below the threshold of audible perception.
In the past, I always had to decide which knee I should tune the open string for, raising the E's or lowering them? No more. They both come back to the same point. Same with the 10th string. No extra rod needed - the magic is all in the changer finger design.

Another vote for Williams and a first one, I think, for Excel.
But surely all modern makers strive for stability. The internet makes it so easy for us to compare notes that there's no longer any excuse to be left behind.
I guess that applies to all products, not just pedal steels!
