I just replaced the strings for the first time on my Strat, and I can't seem to tune it without cranking the bridge up and putting tension on that. Are there any tricks to this?

No so sure what you mean.

Well, when I tune the strings, I have to tighten them so much that it draws up the tremolo, just as if I was pushing the whammy bar down. I can't seem to get the strings to be in tune without the bridge doing that. Didn't know if there was something I was doing wrong.
