It's all in the set up, gang. Once you bend a string, either the Kahler cam rotates forward, or the ZR pitches forward. What occurs on both bridges is that the string bend applies tension to the springs on either bridge and stretches them. As the bend is released, the tension on the springs is released as well. If both bridges are set up correctly, they will both return to pitch...even a Floyd will! If either bridge is not properly set up, neither will return to pitch. If they are both set up correctly, and either one still does not return to pitch, then the problem is that the string is obviously catching/binding somewhere...which cannot occur at the bridge on either one. Dead strings will do all of this as well.

The problem has to be at the nut/locking nut/string lock/tuning machines/neck.

To give this third party validation, Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains has used Kahlers since the beginning of time and he is a string bending freak. For a man who is so into what he does when he plays, I can assure you if his guitar was going out of tune, it would not be at the next show.

It's all in the set up...I hope I help yo guys out a bit. If you guys ever need anything, let me know.
