...hmmmm...there's that "Fender Nazis" title again...(it does have a certain
charm)!!! Anyway, once I changed the tuners (to Sperzel locking),
eliminated the string tree (worthless, unless you do a lot of excessive
string bending), changed the nut (to the LSR Roller Nut), anchored the
bridge (blocked the travel so it can't be pulled sharp, and tightened down
the four springs all the way), my American Standard stays in tune rock-solid
(even with deep trem-bar diving); HOWEVER, when playing in a warm
environment, it will typically go flat (neck moves with temperature), and at
the colder morning or night gigs, it will go sharp. So, despite the fact
that it always stays in tune with ITSELF (if you are only playing with
drums, it doesn't matter much!), I believe ALL guitars need attention to
tuning (even the non-Fenders!). Please, no carnage as a result of this
post!
Best regards and respectfully, Dana Vincent

Fred,
It stays in tune once I've tuned it. Thats what great
guitars do. They come out of the case in tune and go
back in tune. I play whole sets with my band and
don't have to tune between songs. Very simple.
