Its been a while I did this.
I changed the strings one by one, now the floyd is pointing up and I dont know what I did wrong.

How do I do to fix it and how to avoid it in near future?

Same gauge! I dont know how this happend.

Well I tuned the guitar u know, and starting over on the E string it turned into a E flat! and again and again.
I was like, what is this im going to sleep. And then I noticed that I had "tuned" the floyd rose into pointing maximum up!

So I guess i have to loosen the strings and mess with the springs at the back?

Also 3/6 strings buzz like hell... what can that be, misplacement at the bottom?

I may have misunderstood you first post. I thought the back was sticking up higher than the front. If the back is sticking down too low you are going to have to loosen the springs like mroberts70 said. Also if the back is lower it could be messing with your action which is causing the buzz. Leveling it out should bring you action back and the buzz should go away. Readjusting if the back is low I think is also easier than starting with it too high. Just loosen the screws and springs a little bit at a time retuning as you go until it's level again. They are definitely something you need patience for. That's why I don't have any, any more. smile.gif
