I think its a matter of adjusting the saddles and then raising and lowering the height of each string to get it back to normal. You're probably right i should take it to a shop. In the meantime im gonna try searching the web again for more info.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Did you put on heavier strings than it came with? Do you have a trem bridge? Is it tipped up? If so, your problem may be as simple as needing to adjust the tension springs in the bridge tighter or adding a spring. <br><br>My suggestion is that if you're unfamiliar with setup and it's way out of whack, you probably need to take it into a shop this time to get it straightened out. If they'll let you, watch and learn how they do it. Definitely read up on the how-to sites! If you have a Strat with a trem, you'll need to know how to tweak it. <br> :D]]></content:encoded>
