There could be several reasons why it is not staying in tune. For one, if they're new strings, you gotta stretch the strings to relieve some slack out of them. Second, you need to make sure the strings are properly locked/clamped both at the nut and the trem. Another thing that could be causing this is a loose stud which you would probably have to get repaired at shop. Lastly, make sure the thing is setup properly. Use the following as a guide for proper setup:
Like I said, there are a # of reasons why its not staying in tune. Getting floating trems setup properly is a pretty detailed science, but once you get it it's pretty effing sweet. This is a start so I hope this helps!
i have 2 lo pros one in a 770..the other in a 550..an i love them..best trem there is..try the link it will help you out alot on a proper set up...best of luck
Hello.
Sorry if I didn't answer!
Yeah, i Stretched the strings and it is intonated correctly.
But I don't know what can I do! The Ibanez goes out of tune when I use the tremolo, but only when "bend the note". Sorry, but I don't know how to say it in english.
Mhh… It goes out of tune when I pull the tremolo upwards.
Here what you need to do.
1.) set the fine tuners to the middle,
2.) unlock the nut pads
3.) Dive the bar up and down a few times, always ending on a dive
4.) tune with the tuners on the headstock, not the fine tuners.
5.) repeat 3-4 a few times until the tuning settles.
6.) Re-lock nut, do some whammy stuff, if not in tune, start back at 2
7.) ???????????????????????
8.) profit.
Does it happen on all strings? Have you tried changing strings? Was the locknut bad? Why did you change it? My Italian is a bit rusty, so I don't remember "molle." Go to ibanez.com, or ibanezrulez.com and find the part name or number.
