I've played around on acoustic guitars for many years. They are easy for me to tune and they usually stay in tune for a long time - unless the pegs are accidentally turned. I'm interested in buying an electric guitar. I've tried many electrics in a guitar store and compared to my acoustics the electrics were much harder to get in tune and harder yet to stay in tune. Often the fretted chords higher up the neck sounded O.K. but the basic "C" "A" and "D" chords sounded a bit sour. Is this normal or is the store trying to sell me "lemon" electric guitars?? I'd appreciate any electric guitar advice or recommendations. If it's necessary to spend half your time tuning an electric guitar, I'd just as soon stick with my acoustics.
