I also don't use a wammy bar on any of my guitars but did years ago.
I never heard of the system you mentioned Lalimacefolle.
As for the Electric Guitar verses the Acoustic on ,
going out of tune i have never played a electric or,
Acoustic that didn't go out of tune on me due to the,
the change of weather or due to hot lights ect.
I played alot of guitars in my life time and they,
all will need a string or two touched up even during,
your gig or if you change to a colder or warmer room.
And if you do alot of bending like i do those strings,
are going to go out of tune alittle even if your useing,
grover big buck tuning keys.
And i don't care if you put the best lock down setup,
ect on your electric guitar if your useing a wammy bar its going,to go out of tune quicker that the non-wammy guitar
1 or 2 strings are going to go out of tune.(use a wammy pedal).
Sometimes i have to touch a string or 2 up during a gig,
while playing.
I remember years ago watching the jonnny carson show,
plus the letterman show and the guitar guests would come,out to play thier guitars and they would have to tune them up do to the hot lights!
Anyway way welcome to the wonderful world of guitar.
(Tuning is an art in its self so play flat or play sharp)

P:S If you find a guitar that is in tune on the lower part of fretboard then out of tune on the higher part of the,
fretboard .Then it could be the intonation needs ajusted.
Also the truss-rod might need ajusted take it to a pro,
don't try to fix it your self.
Now if your buying a guitar from a music store make sure
you mention the above to salesmen unless you want a lemon
as you say.Also try to take some-one with you that knows,
if the neck has a bow in it or if the intonation needs,
ajusted.Remember that alot of poeple in most music stores
try these guitars out and they could have made some,
ajustments plus messed them up before you tryed them out,
including the poeple who work at the music store.
