Guitar won't stay in tune
Hi everyone. So I got a new guitar rig, but it isn't staying in tune. Every morning I come down to play and it sucks.

check temperature of where you are keeping it, check the action of your strings -it may need to be set up by someone that will adjust the bridge and such. You may also need to either stretch your new strings or replace the old ones.

Probably your strings are stretching still.

When you tune your guitar and then play each string open as in EADGBE and the play it at the 12th fret EADGBE althought it is an octave higher is it it tune or out. If it is out you may need to adjust it at the bridge. The intonation must be correct open and at the 12th fret. If that's not it your tuners are slipping or just the strings are stretching and need a little time to stabilize.
