Could it be that there is a problem with the truss rod in the neck?
Every time i tune the guitar and use the tremolo it goes out of tune when i make a dive, it sort comes back in tune (not quite) when i pull the tremolo.
New trem-springs makes no difference.
Tightening all sort of screws ( on the neck or the top saddle) did not resolve my problem.
the tremolo knife edges are brand new as is the tremolo (did swap the lo-trs II with a lo pro edge)

Please help

make sure the trem is level then in tune lock it down use fine tuners to make sure its in tune (dont touch whammy at all) then once u get it in tune whammy it down 3-4 times grab the g string 2nd fret bend it then check tune if e a d strings are flat then u have to tighten that side where the springs are and if its flat also on the g b e side then same thing tighten it just a hair and if all of them are off a bit just tighten bot screws after that whammy it check tune then finetune it and then u should be good...
