Hi! Have you set the guitar up by yourself?

I think that the best thing is to take the guitar to a qualified person (in Italy we have the liutist) who can set it up.

It could be a problem of machine heads, strings or springs.

PS: Sorry for my English!!

Check the lock nuts at your guitar's headstock.
Are they tight enough?

What strings do you use?

When you're playing on thick strings; how much springs do you have in your tremolo system?

What's about your bridge? Is it horizontal?
