I dug up this video - though I'm a bit more aggressive with my stretching...

I yank on 'em pretty hard.

I suppose it's also possible that they're counterfeit strings. They'd be less consistent. I don't know if I've ever seen counterfeit strings, but I'm told they exist.

Thats pretty much what you told me. I think it's probably cause its got a floating bridge on it. This has happened before with new strings but after a little while they stay in tune

Ah... You can probably try adjusting the claw to match the tension. The floating part should be just slightly less than level, compared with the surface of the guitar body when the strings are at full tension. You really should adjust per string tension and then buy the same thickness strings every time as it's not good to adjust it all that often.

The guy at the guitar shop told me to make sure it was level many, many years ago when I got the guitar, so that's what I try to do, but I didnt adjust that when I changed the strings
