All strings. You bend any string and it goes flat, leaving the others intact.

See, bending one string knocks it flat, and only that string. The others will be fine, which makes me question the saddles movement when bent/increased tension.

I adjusted it so it would no longer have an effect on the bridge or claw. So I removed the shaft and pin that goes on the block of the bridge, and then loosened the screws that lock the claw onto the claw screws. Therefore, the tremolno has no influence on the bridge. Brought the same results...

After having done all that and getting it as smooth as possible, the tuning instability still persists - with or without the tremolno. However, when I activate it and block the trem, I can get the guitar to stay in tune after bending. Does that isolate the issue to the bridge?

Good shout, I'll take a look into this. Do you have a tremol-no by any chance?

Parallel to the body of the guitar.

Could a binding nut also be the reason why the bridge won't stay parallel after a bend? It'll move ever so slightly. Would I be able to fix a binding nut on my own, provided I have the tools? Edit: I've noticed that the height of the string saddles have not been adjusted to match the fretboard...

Now it won't stay in tune after a divebomb. Some strings will be sharp, but bending a string will bring all the strings back in tune. I'll continue stretching the strings, but they seem to be fully stretched. I get the same result with the Tremol-No in and out.

So I gave my guitar to a guitar tech on Friday, and I got it back today. He said "the locking tuners weren't tight enough", and that because I use Elixir strings, "you need to wrap more around the tuner post." I asked him why I need to do that when I thought locking tuners negate the need for...

I adjusted the intonation screws so that they were more than snug. The instructions say not to over-tighten them, and it is fully intonated. I'm still finding that all strings besides the high E go flat after bending. I applied vaseline on the knife edges and posts, still no improvement.

So I tightened saddle screws a little, not too much. Now I've noticed that bends are a little more in tune, but not perfect, and that divebombs/vibrato with the bar aren't staying in tune. Also, the bridge is slightly closer to the body when lifted with the bar and then kept resting. So it...

Hey guys, So I've got everyone's favourite problem - tuning issues. I have Sperzel Locking Tuners (Graduated Post Heights), Warhead Headstock, Graphtech TUSQ XL nut with a serving of lead in each slot, a Wilkinson VS 100 bridge that is floating, and a tremol-no. I'm finding that when I bend a...

It does! The fretboard sits nice and flush with the body.

It's a 25-1/2" scale Warhead neck with modern construction, and the 24 fret reposition for the pickups.
