Sounds like a nut problem or the trem is not returning to "zero".Ok, just tried this. Didn't solve my problem.
I tune up every string. Then I bend ANY string and ALL strings go flat. Then I quickly jerk up on the floating tremolo and suddenly all my strings are in tune again. I'm not even doing large bends, only 1/2 to 1 whole step.
This has got to be a nut problem. I can't think of any other explanation. The strings are locked at the bridge and at the tuner. String tree present/absent makes no difference. Then again, I'm no guitar setup expert!
What bridge do you have? I've got no experience with 6-screw bridges (except PRS which has "special" screws with knife edges).
