Ok I got my Deluxe about 2 weeks ago now and I have not been able to keep this baby in tune, especially with the G string and B, and A strings. I do have the Deluxe Schaller Tuners but even with them stringed up correctly and tightened correctly just by playing chords some what hard, and bending those strings or using the tremolo they go out of tune fast, and sometimes when using the tremolo it will bend the G string up in tune.

Bad tuners? or what else am I doing wrong.

A professional setup will take care of that. Or you could attempt to do it yourself.

It sounds to me like you have a problem with your nut. You may have to take it and have it cut correctly. I have a Deluxe and I had to get the nut re cut when I first bought it. The dealer covered it and a free set-up. Hope you work it out.

Welcome to the Forum.

Could be an issue with the nut or it just needs a complete setup.

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

Keeping a Strat in tune is a common issue:

1) Lubricate -- With some graphite, lubricate the saddles, nut, and string trees. This alone might fix all of your issues.
2) No float -- If that still does not fix it thoroughly, consider going to a "no float" (where the bridge sits flush against the body). This can be easily done by either adding a trem spring (or two) and/or tightening down on the claw screws. There are alot of us here who have 'no float'. The only real negative to doing this is it is that it prevents you from pulling up on the trem bar (that is you can only go down - not up).

For me, when I went through a heavy trem phase, I had tuning problems, too. However, lubricating everything and adding a single trem spring did the trick for me. It kept tune "fairly well" compared to before. However, I rarely use my trem any more. Without trem, my guitar stays in tune forever.

Also, do not discount the set up advice, either. Good luck.
