I am buying a new low end Strat knock-off (Tradition G-Series) to use as a travel guitar. I can't stand a guitar that doesn't stay in tune. I'm anticipating having to replace the tuners. Any suggestions?

Who needs a signature?
I mean really...
It's almost always lyrics...
or a cliche...
or garbage about me...
Lets just save YOU from the pain, ok?
If you REALLY dont want it to go out of tune then get some locking tuners, a nice nut, and a hardtail bridge. New tuners should be enough though.
I am going to be getting some myself and I like the looks of these sperzels or these planet waves.

Tuners usually are not the problem with guitars not staying in tune. You would be money ahead getting a good set up instead. Most tuners on low priced guitars are OK at least for a few years. Tuners work or they don't work. I would spend the $ on upgrading the pickups if anything :D Just MHO--the dog
I only plan to use it for travel, so maybe I'll just let it ride and see how satisfied I am with it before dumping a bunch of extra money into it.
I like the idea about the pickups, but I only play through my Tascam Guitar Trainer with headphones while in the hotels. I would hate to annoy the other guests. But the sound isn't all that great out of this thing anyway.
Thanks.

Usually it's a poor winding job on the tuners that cause you trouble or temperature changes.
