My guitar player recently picked up a brand new right out of the Beck,, sounds and plays great,,,, only one issue,, with just a little use (not crazy or anything) of the bar it's not staying in tune, it's actually coming up sharp,, is there something out of whack with the floating bridge or what, really need some help here.

Thanks ,He plans on doing that, I was just asking wondering if the sharping aspect was inherent to a specific problem, mostly for my education concerning tremolos, being a bass player I don't deal with them lol.

Too much tension on the tremolo springs.


(Plus two general rules for "tremolo anything": check the nut grooves, lube all string contact points.)
