Keeps going flat??

[acdc51502112]

ok Ive got my S set up great and everything (gone through rich's full set up list), and it wont hold tune it will just go flat constantly. The longer I leave it the more flat it is. I have no idea what to do. help please. Original edge, also i dont touch the wammy.

Flat would mean not enough spring tension, you could have some dead springs.

the bridge is staying level tho

Well how flat is it going, strings can go flat without noticeable bridge pull up.

[acdc51502112]

they just are constantly going flat like little by little getting flatter. I'm not even touching the trem bar so it couldnt be that.

[Lefty Robb]

just keep screwing the springs in a little at a time to compensate, eventually it will find equilibrium. Don't forget to strech the strings too, I usually do this by doing a bunch of quick whammy pull ups, some people also like to do it string by string by taking 2 spots of a string and bending in opposite directions a few times.

Have you streched the strings properly?

[acdc51502112]
