hey everybody, i need help with this floyd rose. i have the 7 string model floyd rose made in my halo guitar. i thought it was gonna be awesome and it is except i have one problem. if i even try to do a dive or anything with the whammy bar the whole thing falls out of tune. what do i do? the nuts at the top of the neck are tightened....please help...

adjust the springs at the back. you cant use the whammy unless you have the spring & string tensions balanced. if the guitar still goes off-tune even afetr adjusting the tension, then you may require an additional spring.

just a tip: DONT tighten the 'nuts on the top of the neck'. they're your tuning locks and i lock them ONLY when i'm going live (and not even while recording). remember that while you play, you're playing with string tensions. tuning is basically just a spring-string tension balance & WILL keep changing as you play. so you have to give the strings enough room & not keep the tensions constrained by locking them.
