e string probs and tremelo probs...

well my 1960 relic strattycaster has been acting up recently...i have tried 11's and 10's and the top e seems to go sharp or flat almost after every song. Could this be because of the floating trem? The other weird thing is...when im playing with the whammy bar, the strings make a weird...kind of clicky noise, its really starting to get on my nerves!!

if anyone can help with either of these problems i would be tre greatful!

fankooo

first of all the problem with the E string is probably not the trem, but the tuning key, and would most likely be fixed if you were to tighten it a touch.

So far as the strings clicking, replace them. If they are new, play with the trem, (bend back and forth slowly for a few minutes) to break them in.
