I have a budget nylon string classic guitar as part of my small collection, brand is Stagg, is very cheap but plays well enough for my needs, my only problem is that it won't stay in tune for more than 24 hours, everyday I pick it up I have to tune it, and I wonder if changing the tunners will help with that.

I have searched in Amazon but I don't see many options for nylon strings, the best set I was able to find is this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Power-Classical-Guitar-Tuners-Machine/dp/B0191IHVQM/ref=sr_1_7?crid=32K4CBGF1BXWH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Mzm_II2SKgqhAgkZvrCMf7oLKzlKvcOlcqQpyEPbC_BE1LkKWm-d6ZOKSDUD_fMYJGyfuRH7lWt1XK_q3OQ0aXj85mIZLyBrcSryMnS07v781zGESUxGUiJE-69Pu8JgKHs2Hr3ZOLOviqqnGpX1U-a9RtprPAkxpUrb7IjTsF5u6vrwyxSEhfTLsAGMqwa6Ku5qHuceZBx59OWgUwqNXRByKgYa8kcoCmlhdQHpRDu-xl1xBCxvRVdIC5io1CNRIW1B1nLV6sWjPKlLHYXFj2Dy1RR8b5Uat2B8GqKtRys.KVoG9t-SaM3v-0s2YiLXYRxCu9Xa094-sg18UxgIey0&dib_tag=se&keywords=nylon%2Bstring%2Bguitar%2Btuning%2Bpegs&qid=1778200869&refinements=p_n_condition-type%3A404228011&rnid=331590011&sprefix=nylon%2Bstring%2Bguitar%2Btuning%2Bpeg%2Caps%2C210&sr=8-7&th=1

Would this help the guitar stay in tune or will I just be wasting my money? - I know $20.00 isn't much to most people but I do have to pay extra shipping and import taxes.

Sorry for the typo on the title, I just saw it after clicking the post button.

Before asking let me give you some context. I started playing guitar back on 1992 when I was 12, I had a cheap acoustic guitar (cost my mom the equivalent to $40 new from a local luthier), but I wanted to play electric. So I bought in 1993 with a lot of savings a 1993 MIM Squire and thought, ok I have a guitar now, the "guitar problem" is solved.

For many years it was my only guitar, until I started a band in 2000, and then I wanted another guitar to solve 3 problems I had with my Strat. We were playing mostly metal so I wanted to have a guitar with Humbuckers, I wanted floydrose to do some divebombs, and I needed 24 frets for some very specific songs. So I went to Amazon and bought a $300.00 Fernandez Revolver X which solved the 3 problems, and for all these years, those were my only 2 guitars.

The band lasted for a few more years, we played last around 2004 I think, and then I never played on a stage again, I just played for myself for many years. In 2019 I saw some YouTube chanels related to home studio recording, like Recording Revolution and Home Recording Corner, and I though it would be a cool hobbie. I bought some gear like an old interface (Audiobox 1818VSL), Some Audiobox MX5 monitors, a set of Neewer Drumkit mics, a Sure SM57, etc.

Along with the gear for the home studio I bought 2 budget acoustic guitars, a regular one and a clasic nylon strings, both Stagg, and I also bought a used 5 String bass guitar. I use my equipment to record music at home for my own pleasure and every now and then I share it with friends or family, but nothing serious.

So pretty much after 34 years playing I have:

My 1993 MIM Squire (I'm currently fully restoring it as it was a bit neglected, full fretwork, refinish, new electronics and hardware)

My 2002 Fernandez Revolver X

2 Stagg acoustics 1 regular and 1 nylon strings

1 Chinese 5 strings bass guitar

My Question is, I see a lot of people here showing these huge collections of very nice guitars, am I too cheap? I mean I have never really feel the need to go and buy a $2000 nice guitar, and when I think about it I think also that I can just use that money to take my family to a hell of a holiday time in the beach or something like that.

Now I do have a stable job with a "relatively" comfortable income (I have a mid manager job in a large company, however I live in a developing nation, so it's very relative, I probably make a bit less than a retail shop supervisor in a 1st world country). So I could afford a nicer guitar, I just don't see the need, maybe because I have never play an expensive guitar and I don't know what I'm missing, and who knows, maybe that's for the best.

TLDR: After playing for 34 years I have 5 guitars, the most expensive one is a $300.00 Fernandez Revolver X. I don't see the need to buy a "Nice" $2000.00 guitar, am I missing a lot?

Hi, I'm not a bass player, I'm a guitar player, however since I have a small home recording studio, I thought it would be a good idea to have my own bass, so I bought this 5string active bass nine years ago, for $50.00 to a guy that was... well not to be judgemental but very desperate selling it to buy something he needed.

It was missing the battery compartment cap and a quick setup, but it plays really well, it holds tune forever, and it's been very useful. I have been searching online for this brand, and I can't find any information online, I was wondering if the company also build guitars.

Does anyone knows anything about this bass or the company that built it?
