MY EPIPHONE LES PAUL CLASSIC WON'T STAY IN TUNE?

I have an epiphone LES PAUL CLASSIC that continually slips tune. This is especially pronounced at the low "E" and "B" strings of the guitar. I tune it and before I get through a song, it is out of tune again. I believe it may be that the bridge needs adjusted but don't know how to do this. Help????

Sounds like your strings are slipping, make sure you have enough wound round the post before tuning, if not I suggest having your machine heads checked for replacement or repair.

Have you fitted new strings..... ?? when replacing strings make sure to wind the string at least 3 full turns around the tuning post before reaching tune tension. I usually hold the string about 1½ to 2 inches above the fingerboard at the 12th fret and wind on from there.
