Need suggestions and at the risk of making myself look like a total dumbass...
I've been having some trouble with the tremolo bridge of my 7 string Warlock. I checked the back and realized it only has 2 springs as opposed to 3 as with my other two 6 string guitars (which is probably why they stay in tune more). I was thinking of getting new springs, but I'm not sure if that'll work since it's got quite a heavy bridge...Any advice or help would be appreciated.

well
have you tryd new springs yet?? i think youve already answered your question, also, SOME bridges wont stay in tune, just becuz their shitty compared to others..
not saying your warlock bridge is shitty. but when you compare say, a original floydrose, and a licensed floyd rose, the original wil stay in tune 10 x better (from my experience with the 2 mentioned bridges  before anyone starts bitchin again).

on a seven string bridge i would recomend you go and get more springs to put in it then set up the bridge again.
Far too much tension on seven strings for only two springs. Your local guitar shop will have springs. Maybe a few dolalrs each

Whenever I use the trem, it goes out of tune REALLY fast. I think it's the lack of springs, but I'm not so sure how many more I need or how to go about it.

Not yet, although I'm considering ordering an OFR for the 7-string in the near future if changing the springs doesn't do the trick.
