Hey, I'm new here. I've been playing the guitar for about 3-4 years. I mostly play this melodic, punk rock but i like to jam around with blues and funk riffs. I dunno if there are many people here from outside the US, but I'm hoping for it. Anyway, as i live in a little country called Estonia right under finland, no one knows us. Because of that of course the selection of quality guitars here isn't something to brag about. I got my american deluxe strat from finland and it's kind of too sensitive for my style. I've also got a problem with the strings. It's kind of freaky to play, the strings are hard to handle and they also lose their tuning if i bend them too much. Any ideas, how to fix that?
I got carried away. The main reason I made this post is that i wanted to know if anyone knew how much should i pay for a tom delonge sig stat, and perhaps even where to get one inside the baltic region. I'd really appreciate the help (:

I did something that worked,I took a small spring that pushes apart rather then pulls,I installed it in back pushing the trem block away from the wood. The sping is located on the neck side under the center spring pulling toward the neck.The reason I did this is when you use your trem it throws your strings out of tune,they have to contract and pull the block back into position, the small spring helps the strings overcome the large spring quicker.I did this some time ago and it is still working.
