hi i'm using an edge pro II bridge. is there anyway to adjust the tension of the strings? thanks alot!

erm, without screwing tuning. not to my knowledge.

the only way is to change string gauge. doing this may mean that you have to re-setup. but there are some who say that different string gauge doesn't affect the setup much

correct me if i'm wrong

it does affect, depending whether youre a low action player or high action, it'll vary less or more. but it does still affect

thanks. previously the bridge was slanting away from the neck so i adjusted it so that its parallel to the guitar body. it decreased tension actually, cos after i adjusted i tried playing & it was easier to bend notes.
