Shit I missed where you said glued neck, you'd know if it was loose. Derp! Just check the bushings and the bolt/threaded rod they ride on and make sure there's no wiggle room there, a loose or wallered out threaded bushing can affect tuning stability. Just making sure you check everything before throwing money at it.

Yeah, just double check that there's no wiggle there or in the neck to rule those out, no sense throwing money at tuners if it's not going to fix the problem.
And I have an Ibanez that's 3x3, but the string angle at the nut is much less pronounced on it versus the Gibson/Epiphone angle, along with a shallower headstock break angle. Not saying it's your issue, but binding can occur there, although you did say you swapped it for a graphtech which should eliminate that as a point of concern.
I forgot to mention, on the 3x3 Gibson style headstock, the string pull angle is not great on both your E strings, and to less extent the A and B and could be binding. Another thing that just popped in my head - I'm not familiar with that particular model, but if it's a bolt-on neck, make sure the neck is tight and not moving at all. Another place to check is the bridge and tail piece, I'm assuming it's a Tune-O-Matic style. Check if you're having binding issues at the saddles, and that the threaded inserts (bushings) in the body aren't loose - this happens on Gibsons and Epiphones as well. If that's the case, take the bridge and tail piece out and carefully wick in some super thin CA glue to help stiffen them up
Gotoh makes good tuners as well, just not sure you'd need them to be locking on a non-trem guitar, but to each their own 🙃
If they're the same spec as Gibson tuners, I believe Kluson makes some direct fit replacements
They don't fly, that's for plebs. They teleport
I mean, if it's gonna happen, what better way than on a giant tube full of screaming people freaking out for the last few moments of my life?
So what you're saying is, I should exclusively fly on Boeing planes?
Oh man... I want to say yes, but then what happens if the plane needs to do an emergency water landing afterwards... or would that be an emergency watering???? I can't handle this stress!!!!!!
Does that mean that Pittsburgh would be a bunch of armpits?
I think even if it hits and explodes, as long as it's on land and not water that qualifies.
Ngl that's fucking genius
