Schecter Tempest Custom issues?

I currently own a Schecter Tempest Custom.
It’s about a year old and I’ve loved it ever since.
But it has a tendency to come out of tune quite easily.
When I play shows with my band, I pretty much have to tune after every song.
It’s mainly the G string, which I know is common, but usually not this bad.
After one song, it may be a half or an entire step down from what it should be.
And the other strings don’t stay tuned very well either.

And here’s the question.
I was wondering whether I should get some mechanical locking heads or just get a new guitar.
I don’t really know much about the locking heads or how to set them up, or if it would even be of much help to me.

I was thinking about getting a Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany Electric Guitar.
I mainly play death/metal, kinda like Carnifex, Devil Wears Prada, or Bring Me The Horizon.
I’ve never used a Gibson but I’ve always wanted to try them cause I love the sound, but at the same time I don’t know if it would be right for me.

So what should I do?
Thanks.
