I bought an American HSS Special a few months ago. Great guitar, but I couldn't keep the B & E strings in tune for more than 5 minutes. After making various adjustments at the bridge, and changing up to a better quality string set, I finally took it to my local tech, and he found that the shims under the nut were uneven, ie: one shim under the low E string, and two stacked under the high E string. He took the extra shim out, and now the guitar stays in tune beautifully. Not a big difference in height but obviously enough to make a big difference!
I hope this can help somebody else too!
