Floyd going sharp while sitting,

[CoreyW]

Hey guys,

So, I got a EVH wolfgang special, with a top mount floyd. I am having an issue with it going sharp after sitting on the stand for a while. This is my only surface mount floyd, my others are floating and dont have this problem.

I have checked the string bar behind the nut, it is pulling the strings down through the nut, it doesnt go sharp when you tighten the nut locks.
Ive checked the nut retention screws, they needed about 1/4 turn to tighten up, didnt solve the problem.
Ive checked my intonation block screws, and they were tight.
Neck bolts, got maybe 1/8 to 1/4 turn out of those, no change.
Tried bumping from the factory 2 springs to 3 springs and no change in behavior.
Have rear springs pretty tight, but I noticed this past weekend, I can make the bass side of the bridge move backwards slightly by pulling up on the bar.
So, I tried raising the posts slightly and doing that and even tightening the back springs a significant amount it doesnt seems to change.

I am wondering if there may be something under the floyd allowing it to rock on slightly.


Is its known to have the base plate of a floyd bend? Its has the EVH floyd in it.

It could be the neck expanding and contracting.

Try keeping it in the case and see if it changes.

^ could be temperature related due to winter. I've got low tension and the neck this year responds similarly to temperature fluctuations. New, streched strings have helped
