My electrics are basically strung like my acoustics: .054-.012, give or take an iota.

I don't have any trouble getting them in tune, applying a capo, or not.

The typical disparity of going from "light gauge acoustic" to "light gauge electric" is the main problem, I'll wager.

I've never done that 'thin string thing', but I can imagine it being a real 'playing in tune' issue.

Of course you didn't specify HOW your electric is going out of tune, so: More input.
