Ibanez may have something on their site about that. That happened to my JEM and my ESP.

3 months ago I bought a new guitar: RG T42DX. A couple a days ago my low E string broke. And I thought that I should change all strings. I Change one string at the time, but when I was ready to tune It To E, My Saddle is moving up and up. Is there some things you should do when youre changing strings on a guitar like this? I don´t want to leave it to the music store to fix it, then I won´t have it back in months. (christmas, much work.) help? If you changed to the same gauge strings this could happen until they are finished stretching. If you changed to thicker strings, say 009 was on the guitar from the store (which is my guess) and you change to 010 the bridge will raise and stay that way until you tighten the screws inside the back of your guitar. You're supposed to find the position where the bridge is in balance from the force the strings pulls one way and the springs inside pull the other way.

IT is normal, since your guitar is setup by default for 009. Try to tighten your bridge and it will be fine. You have to setup your guitar every time you change the gauge in the case you didnt know it before.

Sorry, I meant high E string. hehe I asked in the shop when I bought it what size the strings had on my guitar and they said 010. I will try to tighten the screws backside. Loosen the strings a bit first so they don't snap... again. And make sure you have played a lot on the guitar first so the strings are fully stretched. A couple of hours whammying and bending should do it. -------------------- My bands homepage
