Ah, that´s normal. You have to put something under your bridge before changing strings, otherwise it falls off. Now you have to readjust the bridge. I give you a site which explains this very briefly: http://www.jemsite.com/tech-setup-a-questions.html

Did you take all the strings off? On a floating trem the best way to change the strings is one at a time. Take off the high E, put a new one on, tune it up and repeat with the rest of the strings. This saves alot of headaches with a floating trem. String changes are one of the biggest reasons people don't like floating trems. Hope this helps and good luck biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I guess they are laying on the fretboard. You have to tune the strings correctly, so that the bridge raises. Or just raise the bridge height.

Take it to a luthier and have them restring it and do a set up. Then, make sure you know what gauge strings you are using and next time change them ONE STRING AT AT TIME. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif If your guitar is that out of whack and you have never worked with a floating trem it can be a real nightmare mad.gif mad.gif Good luck!!

Don't freak out, man. If your guitar was working properly before you changed strings, all you have to do is make sure you're all tuned up, and you'll have no more fret buzz. I have a Floyd in my Jackson.
Whenever you change out the strings, the bridge can come out. No big deal. Just put it back in. But, do not raise your bridge height if it was fine before you took off the old strings, unless you have put on a heavier gauge string set than what was on before. In that case, you will have to open up the back of the guitar, and tighten the spring tree a bit. This will increase spring tension to compensate for the heavier gauge set. Make sense?
