JP EBM Trem system question

[Not Steve Vai]

Hey guys.. I just threw some 10s onto my JP ebm, and the bridge raised up considerably. I was using 9-46s before this, and I broke a string and had to replace the set with a pair of regular 10s. While I'm not interested in keeping the 10s until I can get to guitar center tommarow, I am Interested in how to correct this.

Since you are not keeping the 10s on there for too long, I would recommend that you leave it alone until you get a set of 9s on it.

If you want to straighten the trem I found the best way is to tighten or loosen the trem claw. In your case the trem is probably leaning too far forward or upward. To level you will need to tighten the screws thereby increasing the tension on the springs.

Hey, thanks for the link man. I was thinking that had something to do with it...
