:Stuart,
I have an Epiphone with a Bigsby type tremolo with the same problem. So, I got to thinking about it and decided to take the strings off to see if the bar the strings are attached to was turning smoothly. Well, it was not! In fact, it really sucks. I went to a local repair shop and compared them. The real Bigsby turns really smoothly. I think the copy Bigsbys are just junk and I am replacing the one on my guitar with a real one. Something else that will help are Sperzel locking tuners and a graphite nut. Talk to your local shop about it. I'm sure you will notice a difference.
I've got a DeArmond M-75T electric guitar with
: a Bigsby type tremelo that won't stay in tune even
: when not using the trem. I've installed a roller
: bridge,graphite nut and Sperzel tuners but the problem
: persists. Any solutions?
