In Illinois, I had never had to tune my Tele but down here in Georgia, I have to tune it every time. It's also a reasonable newer guitar (like a little over 3 years old. Right next to it is my 1989 Strat. I never have to tune that. The older 'drier' wood is less prone to climate related changes.

But in general, I have to tune all of them a little bit. I am fussy about tuning but they all do need it a little bit each time I grab one.
