Floyd rose special Fine tuner Stuck!!

[seanbenkoh]

I recently got this guitar about 2 weeks back, didnt play the guitar for abt 3 days and when i try to tune it, apparently my fine tuner of the Low E string ( Drop d in my case). Couldnt be screwed in to make it sharper. Does anyone know any way to fix this? Thanks

spray some contact spray or any similar form of oil to loosen it up. if the thread is spoilt, please revert back to the store you bought it from.

Let's be clear on this.

The fine tuner cannot be adjusted anymore to get a sharper note because:

1. it's stuck.
2. it cannot be turned any further as it has reached the limit of adjustment.

Solutions:

1. Spray WD40 or any de-oxidiser to loosen it up and leave it for a while for the solution to penetrate and 'soften' up the threads.
2. Loosen the locking nut, readjust the fine tuner to 50/50 and retune to D from the tuning machines.
