I dont know if this is the right place for this question ,but here it goes...
My guitar has a floyd rose.And it keeps detuning all the time.Especially if i play with the whammy bar.Now, most reviews about floyd rose that i have read say that it can stay in tune for 2 hours of heavy whammy playing.
My guitar is a cort X6 ,nice guitar and i have it for 1 year now,so it is relatively new.The floyd rose keeps detuning no matter what adjustments i do.Actually i dint know exactly what adjustments to do,so any suggestions?

Are you stretching new strings in good???(Had to ask)
What I was told about Floyds was when tuned to perfect E standard,your bridge should sit perfectly flush to the body or flush in the pocket.
I was also told that once restrung to leave the nut unlocked set all the microtuners to a middle point so you have tuning abilitie both up and down,then stretch the strings in real good pulling then away from the fret board and bending them etc teill the guitar stays almost perfect unlocked then retune and lock it and chec it with the micro tuners.
I was also told that when removing your strings for a restring to stick a shim under the bridge to hold it in the position it was in hen tuned perfect theis will help in retuning as the tension doesnt have to keep pulling the bridge up level.
Also do you have one of those Eddie Van Halen D-tuna things on your bridge?? This changes the tension of the low EW and on a floating system subseqently changes the tension and pitch of the other strings.

Certiied Stratocaster NUT!!
