However, some guitars rarely go out of tune anyway
I think most stage performers have a tuner on the board and can sneak a quick retune if they don't feel confident doing it by feel. Many can tell which string it is, and have a quick tweak mid-song, I've seen classical performers do this
My point was that we have this multiple-guitars thing so ingrained now that rock musicians seem to find it hard to believe that anyone can possibly play a gig without a rack full of guitars. In fact in the past quite a few big-name rock musicians didn't always have backups on stage either - they were able to tune their own instruments, and often did in the middle of a song.

Having said that, when people on this forum said the LP stays in tune as long as the nut is well cut I found it so hard to believe because the g string problem seemed so ubiquitous and talked about by top players with big collections of guitars.
So I had planned to install a "String Butler" when I got my LP but, to my surprise, when I had the nut cut by a professional it stays in tune pretty much as well as any other guitar I've got so I haven't bothered with the Butler.
