Hello.
I have Ibanez Edge III FloydRose tremolo.
When I bought this guitar, bridge angle was to high, so I adjusted springs and tuning so it's back to normal, but now my tremolo doesn't work...
Any ideas why could that happen?

What exactly do you mean when you say it doesn't work?

Something in the way of the bridge? Springs too tight maybe? Im not a tech, but i'd check those 2 things, maybe you've over tuned it, and counter-balancing the tension you've over done it, to the point where the bridge wont move...maybe? :confused: :o

If you lower the two screws that adjust your bridge height all the way then your trem will be blocked by the body of the guitar when you go to pull up on the trem otherwise known as string raise or pulling the trem arm away from the body. Also, these two screws don't control the string height by themselves. If the angle of your trem is such that the back of it is pointing in towards the body of your guitar then your strings or action will still be low and turning the screws the adjust the height won't matter. You will have to also adjust the screws that control tension on the trem springs inside the body of the guitar. You just have to find a happy medium. By the way, that's a good link Chuck!
