Are the strings really new (or perhaps really old)? If they're new, they're probably just settling in. If not...I dunno.

they are about 5 days old.. played for maybe 6 hours total

Is the nut base is tight and not moving, check the saddle intonation scews, and and check to see if the strings were tightly secured.

Did you say a prayer before you put the strings on? If not, then you will have to buy some new strings.

Would be nice to know the reason and solution.

My Jem is by far the hardest of all of my guitars to tune. In fact, I play it very little because it always takes so much time to get it in.

well, it seems the strings were just breaking in... Falcon, lets see your JEM, because something must be wrong then if it doesnt STAY in tune...

Maybe lack of locking studs or fat knife edges. Check out the tech section at ibanezrules.com

i had the same thing when i got my 777vbk!

screws on the trem just weren't tight enough!bit of a tweak here and there and I havn't had to tune in about 3 days on non stop playing!
