fatboythin, saying that didnt help at all.
to rikipu, try to tune it properly. watch out for ur bridge, make sure it is flat, not slightly towards/away from the nut, if it is, try adjust the spring at the back of the gtr's body. reset the tuner on the bridge before u tune it, this helps after u lock the nut after tuning. hope it helps  my first gtr with a floating bridge too, had a few problem but learn a lot from it  |

QUOTE(sean392 @ Jan 25 2009, 02:33 PM) I doubt adjusting the spring would be much of a good idea. Cause quite simply, the spring setting was already right before. It's only screwed now. hard to say, it really depend. the spring setting depends on the bridge, string gauge and neck. if the bridge is fine, than no need adjustment.@OP Just keep trying to retune. If your bridge isn't flat and parallel to the body, it's probably because you didn't tune it right. Too many methods to teach you how to tune, so I'd suggest you do some google-ing and find out the best method by yourself.  no need to be afraid to play around with all of the setup method on ur guitar. u'll learn lot more later on. do-and learn. keep it this way, if u have a fixed bridge, u'll never know/learn how its like using a floating bridge. even if u get a good guitar with a good floating bridge, u'll still have to face the same problem, before u become good at it. and please dont block ur bridge, stop being a wuss  |
