Yes, I have changed string brands once, but the gauges were always the same

It might also help to tighten the screws on the tuning pegs.

If the:
- strings are brand new they will stretch - strings are too old they may run bad - nut is too tight. Might be it's fit for 009 but 010 gets stuck. Put graphite on. - neck isn't set for the 010 string tention (different brand 010's can have different tension) it may need a setup - strings are slipping at the bridge. Not so likely with a tune o matic + stop tail though - machine heads are of low quality. Get new ones. My bet is the machine heads which are very important for a guitar to stay in tune. That it's three strings on the same side and you have 3+3 makes me wonder though... if it's more serious than just the machineheads alone. -------------------- My bands homepage

I think machine heads are loose, try tightening them up with a screwdriver.

Are you experiencing this with just new strings when you put them on or all the time with strings that have settled in..What happens after you tune the guitar properly , how long does it stay in tune ?? As said above , most likely its the tuning pegs to blame!

The problem just starting happening randomly,
When I tune the guitar it probably stays in tune for about 5 minutes, after that another 10 minutes I have to tune it again |
