  1. gdgonzal1's post in JTV-69 Headstock String Tension Trees was marked as the answer   
    Well after experiments with some dense foam to deaden the sympathetic vibrations from behind the nut I still wasn't happy.  There was still the issue with the tension of the higher strings because of a lack of angle (yes I have the original tuners which are height staggered) so I decided to do a couple of things.  First I ordered a replacement nut from Line6 via Compass, it's pre-slotted so it's up to whatever their specs are and it seemed right on as far as nut action and raised the height on the G, B & E strings slightly.  Next I ordered some Blk TUSQ string trees and installed them per their recommended specs and removed the foam I had previously put in place...guess what, viola all my issues have been solved.  In my opinion James Tyler's specs are off; there's just not enough angle on the headstock solely from the staggered tuner.  That's why everyone is experiencing all these issues with sympathetics vibrations; now with the string trees in place you can see all the strings now have the correct angle that matches that of the Low E.  Hope this helps others experiencing this issue.
