I'm having a bitch of a time with tuning stability on my LTD Eclipse. Specifically the dreaded G and D strings. No matter what I do, the focker won't hold tune, and it's pissing me right off. Contrast that to my Ibanez JS and Warmoth Tele, which stay in tune like a mofo.
It dawned on me that we as guitarists are fine with what are effectively design flaws. Look at the string pull of a Gibson LP or ESP Eclipse, when compared to the PRS and/or Schecter 3+3 designs:
This anecdotally correlates to the experience I've had with both PRS and Schecter guitars in comparison to what I'm experiencing on my LTD Eclipse. They were just WAY more stable in terms of tuning.
TL;DR I wanted to play with my Apple Pencil on my iPad, and I'm trying to justify buying the Schecter Scallon model.
