Heavy Gauge
Will a heavier gauge string effect how often I have to tune my guitar after using a tremolo?
Providing you have done proper stretching of the strings, it should really make no difference - as long as your set-up include a locking nut (as the other poster here correctly points out)
With a regular nut and heavier strings, you may experience one ore more strings snagging in the nut slot - creating tuning instability.
Also, the string brand and age of the strings may come in to play. Contrary to popular belief, there is a difference between the quality of some string brands - you may read more about that below if you wish.
And yes, different gauges (as well as tuning down/up) will usually require the truss rod to be adjusted - along with the tremolo set-up and the intonation
