Hello guys (and ladies),

Yesterday I was looking the web for tips and tricks on the setup of the guitar. I checked a website on how to get a better action. After some measurements (how to typ that?) I found out my strings could be lower, (low E was 3,5mm from the fret, high E was 2,5mm). I decided to do it. Everything went prety good, but after doing all the adjustments, all the strings were out of tune. So I tuned them, and then the high E jumped of... Repairing the string isn't realy the problem, the real problem was that all the strings made noise!! Like you pick a string it makes a weird brrrrrr noise. I have a stratocaster like bridge with two screwed saddles. How to get the noise away? Do you use the first screw to get the good height and then the second to get rid of the noise??? HELP!

cya,

Kaz
