What type of nut does your guitar have? A lot have plastic and it grips the strings and causes things to go out of tune. I would recommend moving to a bone but and getting locking tuners. Locking tuners also make string changes a freakin breeze!

My Kramer's got one of those locking nuts for the Floyd Rose, so you can bend the strings down until they are floppy and it'll hold tune, but I don't have any of the locking caps.  Don't have locking tuners.  Those sound like a good idea.  Any good brands?

Well Schaller is used on fenders. Sperzel is another good brand. I would stick with these 2 brands. Sperzel seems to be highly rated also.

      Again dude, Vox. Vox, Vox, Vox. If you are going to be playing punk music you can emulate so many different amp styles. I can tune my amp in and replicate damn near any punk band you can think of.... Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, Dead Kennedys, Subhumans, Aus Rotten, who ever. Plus it has that nice tube amp sound because it is a tube pre-amp. For the money it's quite possibly the most pratical choice. Mlinder hit the nail on the head. You really don't want to gig with a giant stack man. It's a pain in the ace plus you leave that gear in your car before your gig and whamo your a target.
