Floating tremolo systems are a pain to use at the best of times, and require care and love to get the things to work. Even the one on the Old Girl has its moments. Fit the extra spring to aid with return, make sure the nut is well lubricated, don’t put strings on that are too light, possibly fit better machine heads if you have some cash, and try tuning the bottom 3 strings ‘down’ to the note, instead of ‘up’ like everyone always tells you (This really does work!).
