I didn't know that you were tuned too high, make sure that your guitar is set up perfectly. If you don't know anything about tech stuff that's ok, just take your guitar to a tech, and ask him to set it to the tuning you want, the action you want(make sure you tell him you don't want buzzing, cause some people like a little buzzing), and tell him to inotate it.

But if you want to do it yourself... Since the bridge has sunken into the trem cavity that means that the tension on the springs in the trem cavity is greater than the tension on the strings. So all you have to do is take the trem cover off the back of the guitar, and loosen the two claw screws( they are the screws attached to the Spring anchor block, see diagram). You want to try to loosen them as evenly as possible, after you loosen them take off the locking nut and tune the guitar with an electric tuner, then tighten the locking nut again. After that the trem should have moved, if it is still sunk in you'll have to repeat the process of loosening the springs and tuning. If the bridge is to far up, you'll have to repeat the process, but tighten the claw screws. You're gonna have to repeat this proccess a couple times until the bridge is flat to the body or make sure the baseplate of the bridge is at a 90 degree angle to the posts the bridge pivots on. It'll probably take a while but you'll save money and a trip to the guitar tech.

Just curious, what do you tune to?

EDIT: oh yeah, if you still get that cycling sound you'll have to inotate it, but lemme know, I can run you through the inotation proccess.

you do realize it's intonation, not inotation, right?

Yeah. If the bridge was not perfectly flat that definitely points towards it not being set up correctly. Guitars with a floating bridge are especially sensitive to it. Well, they're especially sensitive to pretty much everything. Even on my (non floating bridge) Strat, if I go from 10s to 11s, I have to re-intonate.

Actually it kind of reminds me of back when I was pretty new to guitar (a rich one, but still a noob), I tuned my JEM down to Eb, and it totally threw everything off.
