Hello, I purchased a EVH striped series this last November and have had problems with getting the D-tuna to work right. I can now get the d-tuna to go from D to E without to much pressure to pull in and out. When I push the d-tuna to E all of the other strings go flat. Has anyone else had similar problems?

I'm no expert with Floyd Rose guitars but my initial guess is that is has to do with string tension. For example, if you have 9's on a guitar with a Floyd Rose then switch to 8's or 10's you'll have to do another full setup in order to get the trem to float properly.

My best guess is that the strings that you're using may be slightly different than what the guitar was set up for, so when you detune to dropped D, the bridge raises up more than it should making everything sound flat.

Just a thought...

To use d-tuna you need to set the bridge flush to the body.
