have an american strat '62 made in 1999. i had the guitar re fretted with jumbo frets and also a compound radius made.

the guitar doesnt stay in tune, and seems to have an overall out of tune sound to it even when the saddles are set correctly. i have another start that doesnt have any of these problems, hence, i string the guitar correctly, the bridge has all five springs attached to it (the bridge rests well on the body), and the pickup's height is coffect.

anybody has any ideas that can help? thanks

Could be old strings, the neck may be warped, or warping, or twisted, or there may be some issue with the the making of the compound radius that altered the structural integrity of the neck that is causing the bad tuning issues, or maybe a nut issue...
