anybody out there do have problem(the same tuning problem),with it?,at now I 've tried almost everything-gauge strings-different spring gauge-different string brand (have to try Elysir too...),the G string is f.....& terrible out&up of tune,I can't have a gig this way,as you touch the tremolo it came back ..up or down...of tune.I've tried with some lubricants but the problem is in another side.,but where?nobody knows this brand here where I live in Italy
I'll try something (what??) more,but if things won't change ...ebay will be his destiny.
I can't believe that a not cheap guitar like that has all these issues,I love the way it sounds,but can't play 2 songs with my band before have to tune it up,this make me crazy,toooooo much
I made the usually tune up with my others 6 guitars since almost 30 years, with no problem (Fenders)but this one is a nightmare!!

Have you checked to see if the string guide is moving. I had a Gretsch with the zero fret start giving me some tuning problems, and while I was changing the strings I noticed that the string guide was loose and moving back and forth as I tuned the guitar. All it took was a little super-glue to solve the problem.
Good luck!!!

Are you letting the strings break in? Also, If you don't solder the wraps near the ball ends of unwound strings this can happen and they'll even become unwound if not soldered. You could buy Tremolo strings if you don't have soldering iron handy, They're the same thing as regular strings but are soldered.

Edit: What gauge of strings are you using? The string guide slots may not be wide enough for the strings you're using, causing binding in the slots.
