Okay, I just received my Kurokumo Mosrite Super Custom today in my mail. I found it hard to stay in tune after using the whammy bar. Kurokumo saddles features locking roller saddles. Should I lock the saddles or should I let it roll freely?

Thanks!

The locking saddles is really to prevent the saddles buzzing against the bridge, it shouldn't have anything to do with tuning. You may just need to stretch out the strings more or use a different technique stringing it up at the headstock.

Cool, good to know. I actually fixed the problem by applying lube to all the string contact points. Now it stays in tune when using vibrato.

Thanks!

Cool. Yeah I usually soak guitar metal parts in a mix of WD-40, lemon oil, and mineral spirits, when I do setups on my guitars. It helps prevent rust and keeps everything working as it should.
