Has anyone else had this issue? My olive green 'stang just drops tuning after 2 minutes of play, nothing strenuous. I have an American standard strat and swap between; standard holds, new stang doesn't. I have a 96 jag stang which holds better and has the standard bridge and string stay, new stang is throughbody. Do I just need new tuning machines? It's a fun guitar but annoying as all get out when it NEVER stays in tune.

I often repeat this: if the tuning machines aren't mechanically broken, they will do their job. And the original Fender/Pings in the Mustang aren't bad.

Many tuning problems are related to how the strings are wound on the tuner posts.
And: has that Mustang been properly setup?

And binding/friction issues at the nut slots.
