I just bought my first guitar with a Floyd Rose system and I absolutely love it. Now when I tuned it all up, and do some dives with the bar, and let it come back, my strings are all de-tuned a small bit down. Some more then other. My low E string de-tunes like a quarter step down, other strings maybe a few cents. When I pull the tremelo bar again, in any direction, it tunes back perfectly.

The strings haven'thave just been replaced, they are still the original ones that came with the guitarErnie Ball Super Slinky's (09 - 42).

What could be causing this? Could this be a defect or is this a matter of setting up the guitar? It's a Charvel San Dimas guitar equipped with a "Floyd Rose® 1000 Series".
