Need some help setting up my JP6

[MetalThrasher]

I took all my strings off my JP6 so I could give it a cleaning. When I put the strings back on and tuned it up I'm buzzing all over the place. I realized after the fact that I should have replaced one string at a time. Is there a how to section over here or a diagram that shows how to set up the tremolo? I know how to set up a floyd but before I start turning screws and making adjustments I would like to read up on the tremolo.

You can take all the strings off at one time,it shouldn't be a problem,but I have to ask
"have you replaced your strings with the same guage/make?"

 

[MetalThrasher]

I replaced the strings with the same brand, same guage and same tuning. The trem seems out of wack if I can describe it that way.

Most likely a neck adjustment, if you run into trouble, shoot me an email: [email protected]

How much time between taking off the old strings and putting on the new? Perhaps the neck flattened out a bit because the string tension was gone. This could cause buzzing. I'd let the guitar settle a few days and see if the neck returns to it's original relief, if not you may have to adjust.

It's very similar to setting up a Floyd, the same general principles, just a little less fussy. Just like a floating floyd, the bridge should be set parallel to the guitar top.
