You're not ready to buy a new guitar yet, but you're starting to reach the limitations of what your first axe and do for you, and as your ear gets more and more accustomed to how the guitar should sound, you're noticing that it's going out of tune a lot. And it makes sense to think the tuners are the cause of the problem.
