Everything looks alright on my Strat but moving up to .10's yanked the tremelo up. I expected this and am curious about your opinions. I can either add springs, tighten the anchor screws for the tremelo or lower the bridge saddles.
After changing the strings, the ass end of the bridge is about 3/8" off the body. I don't use the whammy bar at all but I'm uncomfortable with having the bridge float this much. It's almost too high for lowering the saddles to drop the action.
I'm just curious which you would do first, add another spring to the tremolo (if so, where can I buy them), or tighten the screws in the tremolo caivity to increase tension on the bridge?
The neck is still straight, the action is too high though. I only have three springs right now. Thanks for any help.
