Make sure the trem spring is tight. Engage the trem-lock, tune the
guitar to pitch, then release the trem-lock. Then bring the guitar back
into pitch by turning the spring adjustment screw on the trem plate with
a screw driver. Another possibility (this happened to me) is that the
trem arm is rattling inside the collet. Remove the arm, wrap once or
twice with plumber's tape (teflon tape), and see if that helps.
I have a vintage Mustang bridge and saddles on my Jaguar, and I don't
think the saddles are brass. They are chrome color anyway... :)
Good luck.
