anyway, thansk for the guys who replied but a couple of things
1) I use 009's and still my bc rich tremolo comes way up
2) I gave the strings loads of slack, still it comes up
3) the thing i noticed about he back is that there was only 2 springs going through it...this is probably the problam..but how do iadd more springs?
but that doesnt also solve the mystery of why when i bought it was the tremolo bar fine, and when i restrung it with what i thought were the same gauge strings did it go up? strange...
anyway, thanks for the replies
