It's possible that it could be the tuning pegs, they do get old and if the gears are worn out they could be slipping!.!.!.!.!.I've had that problem myself!.!.!.!.and after putting on a new head set everything was fine !!!!!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Define "wont stay in tune"!.
Guitars dont stay in tune!. Its a fact of life with guitars!. About the time they stay in tune really well, the strings break!.
You might check to see if the neck is warped or warping!.
Do you have a reinforced neck!? If not that could be the problem!.
but even then, guitars go out of tune!.
its the nature of the beast!.
I have to tune mine all the time!.
Oh and I am a piano tuner, by trade!. So I do know a little about this subject!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have a Chinese made Gibson that has the same problem!.!.!. that is why it lives on the wall!.!.!. they are cheap guitars and cheap guitars don't stay in tune!.!.!. otherwise you wouldn't have to pay $1000 to $5000 for a guitar that didn't need tuning all the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Grovers might help if the guitar is going out of tune because one or more pegs are slipping!. But before you buy Grovers you should check to see if they will be compatible with the existing holes in the headstock!. It's possible that Schallers or Gotoh tuners might be a better fit!. Your best bet for parts is www!.stew-mac!.com, the Stewart-MacDonald company!.

Most builders consider the Gotoh 510 and the Waverly open back tuners to be the best tuners on the market, by the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
