Even if you take the strings completely off, the bridge still won't go down? Is there a block in the cavity by any chance?

Did a quick google search myself and that does seem to be the case. I'm use to FR's but thought they would act the same.. And your quite welcome man. Good luck!

yeah, the springs look stratched a bit there, might be worth just blocking the whole trem off.

This is not normal. 3 springs is all you need for 0.10 gauge strings or less. It's unlikely the springs are worn out.
I have mine set up just the opposite, that is, bridge all the way down, and it looks like this. As you can see, my claw screws are way up there. And yes, I have a different tremolo block, thanks for asking. Loosen the strings, tighten the springs, tune up, rinse and repeat until the bridge is to specs (1/8th inch gap at the back) or how you want it. You're probably going to want to put all new strings on when you get the springs set correctly. -------------------- "I dreamed a lot when I was younger..
