Just bought an Ibanex RG370DX. I know the manual (page 20) says to adjust the spring tension to keep the tremolo assembly in parallel with the guitar body, but what part of the tremolo assembly am I supposed to use to line it up. There is an obvious one using the bottom base plate, but I have read where that is wrong.
The manual shows (poorly) that the line is drawn right to the left of the fine tuners. And yes there is a very small area there that I could use as a base for a parallel line to align with the guitar body - is this it? The picture shows the line cutting through a "hump" which is what is confusing me. There is no hump on my RG370.

right, what you want is to screw the screws in as far as you need so that
1. you can depress the whammy bar so the the lowest string is pretty much completely loose
2. you can go around 3-4 semi tones higher on the open lowest string when u pull on the whammy bar.

i was working it out on my floyd rose yesterday and thats my conclusion
and for the other screw, do the same so it is parallel to the first screw you set up...
and detune your strings about 2 tones down and make the screws tighter whilst keeping an eye on the string, everytime when it is in tune again but it still isnt right, detune it by a tone or so

hope that helped, just a bit of trial and error really
