T486B-SB Bigsby Tuning Issue - Jstay0 - 04-10-2024

Just got a “new to me” 2021 T486B-SB” !!
Someone had it setup before me, low action no buzz. However, light bigsby use or no use at all brings on tuning issues….I realize it could be a lot of things, nut friction and saddle ect…strings are wrapped a couple times on each peg which i know helps but anyways….are the pingwell tuners any good or should I just swap them and start there along with lubing nut + saddle?

I've never had any tuning problems with a Bigsby. Before anything else, I'd try lubing the nut.
