The under-$150 Fender guitar

Experimentation with a floating bridge on a cheap Squier Strat
Long time followers of mine know a guitar of mine I call Banana, the 2010 Squier Bullet Strat in Arctic White. Why is she called Banana?

No, you do not have to tune flat to keep a guitar in tune
I've seen a many opinions floating around on how to tune an electric guitar. Some say tuning to exactly what a chromatic tuner states is the right way, while others say it's totally wrong and you should tune certain strings flat.
Which is correct?
