Hi all - So something I've noticed on my 2018 Axis BFR: the Floyd Rose trem unit routinely makes a knock or clunk when it returns back to level, decked against the guitar top.
I'm running two springs w/ 9's, and unless I'm very, very gentle in controlling the trem return from a dive, it knocks against the body. Sometimes, if I bend more then a step so that it pulls the trem up slightly, I can even get a clunk when I release the bend.
I don't hear the clunk through my amp, at least that I've noticed.
Is this normal? Would loosening the springs so that it's just before floating help reduce the knock?
Long-term, is this going to damage the top?
Thanks!
