Latest project

This one is actually a pretty traditional/old school jazz box, hollow body, floating pickup, even the knobs are of the style used on 30's and 40's vintage guitars. Take a look at a Gibson Le Grande.

You can get inside tuners and tighten them up. I suggest starting there. Suspect that sometimes people spend money on new tuners when they probably just needed to tighten up the ones they already had. I don't know that adjusting the truss rod would affect how long the guitar stays tuned unless the screw is completely loose. But if the neck mounting screws are loose that could certainly affect tuning stability as the neck pivots a little in the neck pocket. Might try snugging them up a bit if the neck looks like it has shifted at all.
 
I've been reading the peg is likely to have a tiny bit of wobble (I don't have anymore than that). There isn't any way inside of that to do anymore.

Hopefully correcting how the stings go over the nut will do the job, with the right string directing things. (had a problem with one hole being stripped a little)

The truss rod is probably fine, but you know, cheap guitars.... The neck started out bowed in too much but has moved back out some sense I acquired it. That being despite that if anything I turned the truss rods to go the other way.

Complaint was that the treble was barely there in the guitar, and I'm hoping the way off string to nut thing was why.
