Floating Tremolo

[scs5150]

I was just wondering if you all would have any tricks/techniques on a EBMM EVH.
I recently bought one that was set-up in Eb. I want to set it up in standard tuning, but when I tighten the strings, the tremolo raises up and is now floating. Any advice??

No problems bro, and welcome...just remove the back plate, and tighten the claw screws (the metal bracket that keeps the springs anchored)...you'll have to tighten and tune repeatedly till you get it right...then depending on how stiff you want your trem you can always had a half turn or so once she's level and in tune...
