EBMM JP6 Piezo Floyd Rose Problem

[Live2Rock]

Hello, I own a EBMM JP6 w/Piezo bridge and had a few problems that I haven't been able to figure out.

To those who own or owned a JP6 before:

What string have worked best for the guitar itself and the Floyd Rose? I'm currently using a Dunlop 10' Nickel Wound.

The settings on the guitar was perfect until I had to change strings. I forgot to put something between the gap. The bridge/Floyd rose is not perfectly parallel to the body. Just slightly off by a cm or two but the action is a tiny bit high above 12th fret. What can I do next time so the bridge will be parallel to the body? I need information on how to set up this particular guitar since I've never dealt with a Floating Floyd Rose before.

You do not have a Floyd on this guitar. It's a music man design trem.

Since your trem is no longer parallel you did not use the same string gauge as what was on prior. To get the guitar back to normal, you will need to adjust the term springs in the rear cavity. You will then retune and repeat until you get the bridge parallel.

To address your action issue this can be addressed with a truss rod adjustment.

To see how to do this if you are not comfortable look at some view on YouTube. There are lots to learn from.

Are you saying the bridge is warping from High E to Low E?

I don't see how this affects parallel-ism at all.

If OP Used a Higher or Lower Gauge String. The balance of tension between the springs in the rear and the strings on top will be slightly off. To regain this balance the springs need to be loosened or tightened depending on whether it was higher or lower gauge string set installed.

No, he is saying the springs attached to the tremolo and the strings are not in balance to make the bridge parallel with the body... So the screws holding the springs to the body need to be loosened if the bridge is angled aft, or tightened if the bridge is angled forward. But you must do small increments, retune, check bridge, repeat.... Repeat... Repeat...
