Re: Floyd Rose Original tuning issues
How many springs? I find 2 springs are a little more loosey goosey with tuning stability. Especially sensitive to guitar position. Try 3. Make sure you tune the guitar in the playing position and lock the nut down in playing position. The Floyd will go sharp or flat if you tune it outside of playing position.
Are your neck bolts tight or is the neck moving?
Is the Floyd nut tightly screwed down?
Is the bar flopping into anything - like the input jack on a strat?
Does the Floyd move freely or is it getting hung up anywhere in the routing on the body? Do the springs clear the body In the trem cavity?

If you dive bomb a lot the Floyd is probably the best option; however, I have really loved this bridge. It is a Schaller 3801 "Vintage Tremolo". It responds just like a Floyd only no locking issues and much better tuning stability on my guitar!

I apologize for the misunderstanding, let me explain
the guitar goes out of tune when I physically move my body(shifting from classical posture to normal posture). WITHOUT using and/or touching the tremolo

And does it go back in tune once you switch back?

Hmmm...are you holding onto the neck when you move from one position to the other?

Re: Floyd Rose Original tuning issues
Really don't know what to tell you on this one...
What is the guitar? Any pics?
Your movement is causing the tremolo to go down and then back...if it goes back in tune then that is a good thing lol

Re: Floyd Rose Original tuning issues
is the nut screwed into the neck tightly?
do you have one of these:
http://www.tremol-no.com/
if so, then disconnect it from the spring block, and see if that changes anything.
also, just to make sure the problem is in fact the floyd, try fully blocking it off so you cant pull up, or push down.
obviously, if the tuning stabilizes, then its a floyd issue. if it doesn't stabilize, then something else is wrong.

Is it making any sort of popping/creaking/ping noise when it happens?
