Help with tune o matic bridge
Help with tune o matic bridge
Is there some standard height for it? Should the other end be higher than the other? My guitar is Esp ltd fx 400 and the other day i cleaned up my guitar before putting new strings on it.
One thing that i didn't realize was those "circle" things (don't know what their called) are attached to those screws and as they were litlle bit loose, so i kinda tighten them.
After i placed my new strings, there was problems with the A and D string, you had to press them really really hard in order them to play right. I took the strings of and adjust the bridge higher, to a point that the A and D string played right but it's probably "too high" as i was tuning my high E string, it felt kinda too tight and in no time while i was tuning it, it went off, didn't snap just went off.
So what i understood is ltd's are made by pretty much with automated machines so i figured that the bridges positions wouldn't vary so much or at all? I just want to get it to the position where it just to be.
I'd really appreciate if someone can help me.
I was under the impression that the strings shouldn't be placed/tuned up while rotating the bridge. It was helpful, thanks.
One more question, my high E cant keep the tension up, when i try to tune it up, it kinda "snaps" and then it's loose again. Is it because the other end is too low? Does it matter that i already cut the extra string of?

Its slipping on the tuning posts.
English is not my first language so i'm not sure how well i described my problem. And i tried to google the answer but it pretty much came up of where to set your bridge if one is building guitar of his/hers own.
What i'm asking, witch i didn't find the answer from google is, is there some kind of standard hight for the bridge that i could just adjust it? If there isn't any, then the other question is should the other end be higher than the other? If so, how much higher?
