The block wedges? Aughhhh. Always keeping the same gauge strings will ensure proper adjustment. The moment you change gauges, you have to readjust the whole thing.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance A-J Charron https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92466 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92350 Fri, 04 Mar 2005 15:01:10 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance DayZd https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92350 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92308 Thu, 03 Mar 2005 23:58:16 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92308 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92299 Thu, 03 Mar 2005 23:41:13 +0000
I still change strings one at a time on all guitars, it eliminates a lot of hassles: neck rebowing, tailpiece falling off on a tune-o-matic/stopbar system, FR stays in check, etc.

So you replace one, tune, stretch, tune stretch, tune stretch, tune stretch, NEXT. Takes a while, but when you're done, you're really done, pretty much finished stretching, everything is in tune, if you were intonated before you're probably still damn close, etc.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance undercat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92299 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92067 Wed, 02 Mar 2005 05:08:58 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92067 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/friggin-trem-system/#post-92052 Wed, 02 Mar 2005 02:40:24 +0000
Located under the bridge and is accessed from the cover on the back called a trim plate. When the trim plate is removed you'll see the springs. Their pull counteracts the pull of the strings. The tremolo springs are attached at one end to the spring claw (which is screwed into the body). If you turn the screws in it will lower the bridge. Turn them in a little then re-tune. Check it, if you need to down a little repeat the process until the bridge is level with the body.

When you change back to the other strings you'll have to readjust the bridge again.
