I own an acoustic guitar that won't stay in tune…will Grovers help?
It is a solid spruce acoustic, made in China…it is a Chinese take on a Gibson J-200 design…very pretty jumbo guitar. It won't stay in tune though…will it help if I buy a set of Grover tuners and put them on? Or is something going on with the neck to make it go out of tune like that?
It's possible that it could be the tuning pegs, they do get old and if the gears are worn out they could be slipping…..I've had that problem myself….and after putting on a new head set everything was fine !!!!!!!!!

Define "wont stay in tune".
Guitars dont stay in tune. Its a fact of life with guitars. About the time they stay in tune really well, the strings break.
You might check to see if the neck is warped or warping.
Do you have a reinforced neck? If not that could be the problem.
but even then, guitars go out of tune.
its the nature of the beast.
I have to tune mine all the time.
Oh and I am a piano tuner, by trade. So I do know a little about this subject.

I have a Chinese made Gibson that has the same problem… that is why it lives on the wall… they are cheap guitars and cheap guitars don't stay in tune… otherwise you wouldn't have to pay $1000 to $5000 for a guitar that didn't need tuning all the time.
