a question about my floyd

on my jackson, i was playing a shitload of death metal, so i just kept it in B tuning for a little while. 2 or 3 weeks later i tried tuning up and the trem went all high up cause it wasn't used to being in high tuning. My dad said he'd fix it, him knowing more about the guitar then me, but i dont feel like waiting, i need my jackson. Anyone know where i could read up on how to fix it, or better yet, anyone able to just tell me now how to fix it? my 99 dollar epiphone isn't cutting it, i need my baby back

your bridge is rising out of the body coz the string tension is greater than that of the springs that control your bridge, so you gotta increase the strength of the springs in order that they both balance out

in order to do this, remove the backplate yeah, then get a screwdriver and loosen the screws until it the bridge is horizontal

now, tune your axe in again

chance are it now wont be horizontal

so, loosen/tighten the springs, then tune

keep repeating this till it is level... this can be frustrating and a bitch to do, may take upto or more than an hour...

have fun!
