Tuning keys

I was putting new strings on my schecter and noticed that the tuning keys were slightly loose. They pivot just a hair. Should I tighten them down or is a little slack good for them?

Tighten them, but not to much. It really depends on the wood. If its a newer guitar then I would say its ok, but older could effect the wood.

It's pretty damn new. Igot it about four weeks ago. It has that real glossy type of finish. I tell ya gloss black picks up every damn fingerprint and every single piece of lint in the air. It's a Schecter C-1 EX with Grover tuners if that helps any. Thanks for the info dude

Then I would say tighten it. Make sure you dont have any strings on at the time though.

no you dont need to tighten it
i think your string is slipping around the peg
put on a new string and leave about 2 or 3 winds around the peg before tuning it
