The problem your all having is that when you change the tension (fine tuning) in the string the tension change will then affect the tremolo unit in pulling or releasing it. This has large effects when tuning the 6th or 7th string on a guitar, what needs to be done is each strring needs to be adjusted when you tune each string, eg when tuning the 7th string you need to go back and adjust the other 6, then retune the 7th then go back. its a slow process but you get there in the end. Its also easier if you tune the low strings first
