I think you should try different keys.
Or a locking system.
With those, if the system is "locked" you can't tune it.
It has to be "unlocked" in order for you to tune it

Oh and EMB:
Whammy bars always make your guitar go out of tune. Whamming (is that the correct word?) means detuning your guitar. Again, you need a locking system in order for it to stay. A whammy bar releases tension on the strings, making them loose and sound low... but it you dive too deep, your guitar will break. I believe it is something in the bridge.

is it a strat copy?

if so take the back plate off so you see the tremlo springs. there should be a screw under the bridge that goes into the wood. Screw it all the way down. that should get rid of the floating bridge thing that doesn't work so well.

if you still have trouble look at replacing the tuners.

the problem is that the guitar has the locking system at the headstock and the bridge is a kahler tremolo I have adjusted the springs and the same problem
