I'm going to bring up something that nobody has ever encountered before.
I have a guitar that goes out of tune when I use the tremolo.
OK, seriously.
I have an old 1980's ESP.
In fact, it has the original ESP manufactured Sinclair Tremolo.
Now, When I whale on this thing, I have no problems. It comes up in tune beautifully.
I can do dives, litterally push the bar against the guitar body and when I let it go it comes back in tune.
HOWEVER, when I am trying to do more subtle whammy action, like the solo to Sweat home Alabama, where there are just slight pushes on the tremolo, the bridge never settles completely back in tune. To get it back in tune I litterally have to do a dive, then it comes back in tune.
But when just doing subtle pushes, it doesn't come back.
Any ideas?
