If your tremolo bridge isn't set up properly and rocks back and forth very easily, you'll have a very difficult time keeping your guitar in tune.
What caused the electric guitar tremolo bridge lifts up is quite simple, the tension between the strings and the springs in the tremolo system is incorrect and out of balance.
How to Fix Electric Guitar Bridge Lifting Up
The solution is quite simple, balance the tension of the strings and the springs! To do this, you could:
Reduce the tension of the string
Loosen the front screws of the trem, therefore lowering the height of the string and easing the tension. This will result in the tremolo being flatter. However, if your action is already low, this may not be possible and the strings might touch the top of the pickups or the end of the neck.
Add spring tension to the trem block
This is generally a far better solution to the problem. Simply increase the spring tension by tightening the screws in the internal cavity of your guitar that are holding the metal plate attached to the trem block.
