Setup Help!!!! fake Floyd

[JacksonShredHead]

So i got a new Jackson DK2.....it has the liscesened folyd rose tremelo, not an original floyd. I'm not really expericenced with floyd setup. I have an sl2h soloist but it was setup great from the factory. The Dk2 i want to be my Eb tuned guitar and as i have been trying to set it up, i cant get it to go into tune or stay in tune. I have the tremolo plate parallel with the body like it is supposed to be but , i just cant get it to stay in tune. HELP PLEASE!!!!! thanx alot!

has the guitar had time to get used to the change in humidity? Since you just got it every guitar i have ever bought has had that major change when i got it home and gone on for a couple of days.

also did you set the intonation? I would check it if you haven't.

This is called neck shock,it happens when all of the strings are pulled off from pitch and new strings are thrown on and the guitar brought straight up to pitch without addressing for the tension flux.

Or it could be the flux capacitor. Is it giving you 2 gigawatts? (Sorry JohnJohn, I just had to).

Sounds right to me.
