I have a new Fender Custom Shop Pro Closet Classic Stratocaster. Beautiful guitar, actually. Niceest Fender I have ever owned. It has the LSR roller nut, locking tuners, and two-point tremolo bridge. I have two older Strats with tremolos that go out of tune easily. I thought this new guitar would not have that tendency with all the features I mentioned. However, I string it up as Fender recommends, and still goes out of tune constantly. Any suggestions?

well it will usually go out of tune a lot right when you first resting it until they're worn in for a day of so it seems for me.... after a day or so, you may have problems, also depends on how much you use your tremolo as well

Are you stretching the strings after putting new ones on. New strings will go out of tune a few times until their stretched some.

Yes. I stretch the strings. I aonly use the bar occasionally during a gig. My other two Stratocasters are 70's with vintage style tremolos. They stay in tune for one gig at most. This guitar was problematic at my first gig. I assumed all the features would improve it's ability to stay in tune.

Hi ..@mjwitt2000.. sorry to go off-topic, but is there any chance you could post a close up pic of the finish on your strat pro. I'm seriously considering getting one, but I'm not a fan of aged finishes. ...I just want to see how it looks. Thanks. =]
