Man, most Strats i know stay in tune great. You can throw a strat on the ground, it'll bounce and still be in tune. Also, if you get a floyd rose and duncan pickups on one, you'll be set. I think those Wolfgangs go for around $1000. If you do go with a strat, don't get noiseless pickups. These come on the American Deluxe series, and are really anemic sounding.
