I can't seem to get my guitar in tune. I have a decent quality Strat (US made). It's been fine for years, the problems just started recently.
The problem is NOT that it WON'T HOLD its tune - it's that it can never be tuned to begin with.
As an example, I can tune the D and G strings by putting a finger on the 5th fret of the D and tuning the G until they're the same pitch. However, if I then put my finger on the 10th fret it should be the same pitch as the 5th fret on the G. But the G is WAY higher.
This happens on almost all the strings. What's wrong? How easy or difficult is it to fix? Thanks.
