sooo I have the olive pro jag which is a gorgeous instrument to look at and listen to, however the problem comes to how it plays. Currently, when I bend a string, lets say the G string, the B and high E string will go sharp. I have checked the nut and there is no binding there with correctly cut slots. the tuning pegs have 3/4 winds on them. the tremelo works fine and doesn't put any strings out of tune when diving or pulling up. The only thing I can think of is the rocker bridge not returning to zero after bends. I have tried putting more tension on it by using 11s and by using the micro tilt to get a better break angle but still no luck. It is pretty unplayable in the state its in which considering the price tag seems insane. Any help or ideas would be massively appreciated, I just wanna rock out on this thing as it sounds incredible.

The symptom itself is rare, weird and in some ways it fights the physics I know... (It's far more common that bending one string results in others going flat.)
But I don't doubt you in that.

If you want to test the rocker bridge effect, tape the bridge posts so it's solid. If you decide to do this permanently, aluminum tape is a good option.

Have you tried playing with a 1052/LTHB set? My vibratos are setup to float on my Strat, Mustang and Jaguar and that seems to be the ideal string set for tuning stability.
