I just now tried Red's test.
With a Mexi-Strat I have on the wall, strung with 11's, I pushed the tremelo way
down and abused the strings like the true artist that I am. When I brought the
tremelo back up, guess what? He was right, it was outta tune! BUT I plugged it
into the tuner and found that it was only the g-string that went sharp. I gave
the g-string a bend and it was back in tune. This indicates to me that the same
thing would happen if I had the Wilkinson trem because the G-was getting stuck
behind the nut.

...Try this: put your fave strings on, tune it up, then grab the trem
and push it to the body until the strings are almost flopping, then
agitate the slack strings with your fret hand. Then pop it back and
tell me if your stock Fender is still in tune. I do this to get a
cool rumble/crash effect with distortion on, and yes, my Strat comes
back to tune...
