Hi everyone,
a couple of weeks ago, after a guy who set up my Ibanez RG350EX actually screwed it up (the floating bridge would not go back to its normal position) I gave it to a professional who set it up properly (action, intonation, position of the floating bridge paralel to the body etc) and finally my guitar looked the way it should have looked when it left the factory..
Yesterday I replaced my SH-4 with an F-spaced Tone Zone. I did this by locking the bridge with a piece of wood under it while I removed all the strings and installled the new pickup (the guitar has a pickguard BTW). I then put the strings back, tuned the guitar, and everything was fine, it tuned immediately. But again, if I do dive-bombing or in any other way use the Floyd Rose system, I have to pull the tremolo back in order for it to go back to being in tune. Technically speaking, te springs do not go back to their normal position. The oscillation is just 1 millimeter, but enough to completely screw the tuning of the guitar.
What have I done and how can I make it work again?
Please help!
I am definitely looking for a fixed bridge guitar, but at the moment this is my only guitar and I just want it to stay in tune..
Thanks!
