Eh that happens to all floating tremolo bridges. You need to open the trem back cavity and then tighten the trem claw screws in there.

 

[shredrat]

dude whats the trem claw screws?sorry i am a newbie

 

[suckasucks]

open up the back plate, the trem claw is whats pulling the springs. tighten those.

 

[shredrat]

adjust the screws at the back of ur guitar inside the cover

 

[suckasucks]

post a pic of your guitar and some closeups if adjusting the screws and springs dont work. does it down tune or go sharp?

 

[I_M_Ken]

you must have changed the string gauge?
if u did then yeah it will pose to be a problem so u have to tighten the screws at the back.

one advice, on floating bridges, change one string at a time. u will get lesser problems this way

 

[shredrat]

yea i did change it to heavier string gauge...my friend told me to add a anither
spring in there..do u think it will work?

 

[shredrat]

pls help

 

[XLayaR]

I think its your trem problem....Just a wild guess

 

[gibbytones]
