A few things to check, make sure the nut is bolted tightly to the neck, check that the stud locking screws are tight(if you have a pre 2004 model with locking studs). Go to ibanezrules.com and read about the studs as you may have some bad or worn studs. A drastic solution would be to install a tremsetter from hipshot or ESP. Try lubing the studs and knife edges with chapstick. Inspect the knife edges for wear the next time you have all the strings off.

Also did you strech your strings properly when you put a new set on?

And how is the trem level (is it parallel to the body, or is it leaning forward or backward)
