I have been playing guitar for roughly nine years and have never encountered a problem like this before. I tune my guitar down a half step from standard then drop the Low (E) string a half step to D, the problem i am having is the B string (second highest) when tuned near the corrent tuning, It Pings if thats the word to use, with a little fiddleing around i can seem to get it to stay in tune for a while, but after playing for around two minutes it seems to have lowered itself by about a quarter to a half step and everything sounds funny when playing chords, is there a way to fix this issue, if it means anything i am having this problem on my les paul standard, with grover tuning machines, and curt mangan fusion matched 10-46 gauge strings. im not sure if this a know issue with any of these things thats why i added it, Thanks
