Shortversion of questions:
1. Could I damage my guitar in any way by adding a fourth spring to my floyd rose system and leave it there? I do of course have to use more strengt when using the whammy bar, but I actually feels more comfortable with that. 2. What happens if I at some point has to screw the adjustment screws alll the way in? Is there any limit I shouldnt cross? Longversion with explanation: Hi As some might have seen, I recently got a Floyd Rose guitar...which obviously has floyd rose tremolo. I`m not sure, but I assume it was strung with 0.09 when I recieved it, which means I shouldn`t have to adjust anything when switching to another set of 0.09`s, right? Anyways, I did have to adjust. I had to screw the bridge adjustment screws (the two screws at this photo ) some centimeters in, I didn`t measure the eexact value. When changing to 0.10 I expected to adjust the bridge. But the bridge tilted forward a lot more than I thought. I added an extra spring (which makes it 4 total), so I managed to adjust the bridge and tune without screwing the adjustment screws all the way in. The question: Could I damage the guitar in any way if I just leave the fourth spring there? I do of course have to use more strengt when using the whammy bar, but I actually feels more comfortable with that. And any suggestions why I had to adjust the bridge when I just put on another set of 0.09`s to begin with? Pretty sure the strings are the same brand.won`t help that I`m able to change the strings in one minut when I need to spend 20 minutes to adjust afterwards. -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself
