I'm guessing You failed to mention it has a tremelo bar. Look on the back and remove panel. There will be several 2" to 3" springs. Make sure they all have springs. I think you can probably have 5 total. From here you can take 1 off at a time and try to re-tune. when it won't tune go back and add a spring. The proper spring tension pulls the tremelo bridge down firmly against the body of the guitar. If there are not enough springs the bridge tends to "float". The springs make a difference in the tension you feel on the tremelo bar itself as you push on it but you'll get used to it. If that doesn't work take it to your local guitar tech. :cool:
