since theres more than one kind of whammy I'll put a few answers
ok a Floyd rose (floating tremolo that can pull up or down)
*make sure that all the locking nuts are tight, otherwise they will make the guitar go out of tune
*add more springs to the body, when I bend with two strings in standard since I do it so hard it would too
fender Guitars where it only goes down
it will naturally because of the fact theres no locking nuts on the top, its a normal thing. But some argue that if you get graphite nuts or of course install locking nuts like in Floyd roses you will have much better tuning stabillity (stay in tune longer)
good luck

Can you put a whammy bar on any electric guitar?
Conceivably you can put a whammy onto any electrice guitar, but it in reality it is a lot of trouble of modification to do so. Answer: You can really only put a whammy bar on a guitar that has a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. Most Ibanez guitars come with these standard, although some Fender/Squier guitars have a bridge similar to a Floyd Rose, but only whammy bars made by the Fender will fit in the hole. (at least what I've tried) And it is possible to set up a Floyd Rose on any guitar or bass, it just takes a lot of work, and a lot of knowledge because there are some vital parts in a guitar that you might not know what they're there for, so seek some professional help if you are a little uneasy about modifying your instrument.

How much does it cost to restring a guitar?
It would cost about £2 ($3). However, if you buy the string and string it yourself, you will never need to worry about breaking a string again. As a standard, you should change the strings on your guitar every two months or so, as the natural oils in your hands and fingers will decay the strings and deaden the sound.
How do you install the spring for the tremolo bar on the guitar?
adding more right? if so do this at your own risk, doing this to a floyd rose whammy bar can make it complicated to getting your guitar back in that tuning and string gauge you want. with a fender 2 point tremolo I guess the same principal applies though , loosen the screws that if you turn the guitar on its belly the neck going to the left of you (assuming you're right handed) you want to loosen them, hook the new spring into the block and put it onto the claw, than tighten it back up. but with a floyd rose DONT unless you know exactly what you're doing.
How do you replace a snapped guitar string?
first you need to find out what string broke and what note then go to a music store and aks if they have the right string !!:D i hope it helped A different opinion: if you've snapped a guitar string, that's usually a good sign that the entire set is due to be replaced. If you're going to the music store, buy a whole set of strings and replace them all. The only time I ever replace just one string is in a pinch, if I don't have a whole set on hand. There are multiple answers on this sight about changing guitar strings, I won't repeat the whole procedure.

Why does your e string on your bass guitar sound higher than your a string ive tuned it with an electronic tuner and its correct and ive tried going an octave lower or higher on the strings it doesnt?
