WITH ALL DUE RESPECT; I certainly agree w/this...
PSTRING:
...This problem is about as routine as they come, what I can't believe is this tech guy has been building and setting up guitars for 15-20 years and hasn't run into this before and apparently has no clue as to how to fix it.........
TRUE. IT'S VERY COMMON. BUT LOWERING THE BRIDGE 'HIEGHT' IS NOT THE ANSWER.
Springs wear/stretch out, replacing when you change string guage is something I would recommend (if there's trouble?).
The spring "claw" must be adjusted (screw it in closer to the cavity wall). [That] can be replaced too. There's a great claw made by 'Schaller' (with a 'worm-gear') that we use sometimes. It's called "sure-grip" or sure-claw, or somethin'??
We have 'em here, E-MAIL ME if you want more info. Here; I'll post a pic' w/one...
