ok thx for the fdback guys. this has been a real nightmare for a couple years now...
Yes, but you run into the same problem if you don't bring the trem springs up to 'tune' WITH the strings. I found it necessary to tune trems from the top down and back track every other string.
Tune low E then the A. But before going to D tune low E and the A again.
Then do the D and re tune the E, A.
Tune the G then re tune the E, A and D, checking the G again before moving to the B.
Tune the B, then re tune E, A, D and G.
At this point recheck the B then move on to the high E, rechecking all the strings again.
This way the springs are adjusted as the strings pull against them.
If you don't use your trem alot or at all, just tighten the spring screws a little. More spring tension will make it easier to tune.
