Edge Pro Trem Problems :S

[decky1990]

Hey. I got an RG1570 lately from my local guitar shop and I loved it as soon as I picked it up. The guy is the store knew what he was doing when he set it up! I've been playing guitar now for about 4/5 years but I've only had one guitar during that space of time, and it didn't have a double locking trem so all of this stuff is new to me.

Recently it went out of tune (as in, all the strings were a bit flat and the fine tuners were as far as they could go) so I tried unlocking the nuts at the top and tuning it from pegs at the top. Got it tuned, a okay, but the guitar didn't sound the same. Everytime I moved from one string to another the previous string would resonate the open string after, e.g. if I played two notes on the low E string and then moved on to some notes on the A string, the E string would resonate, killing the sound of the notes I play on the A string. This never happened when I purchased the guitar (And no, I am not getting ****ter lol).

Tried adjusting the angle of the trem, in order to get the knife edge parallel to the body but it's still happening.

HELLLLLP!

I have man. Checked the angle of the trem and fine tuned it etc. Also had to replace a high E because I broke mine (being silly and fiddling about) but the over sensitive strings still remain.

It's really annoying becuase it never used to happen and I don't know what's wrong. It happened to me with my last guitar too which is one of the many reasons I decided to get a new one.

HOW CLOSE ARE YOUR PICK UPS TO THE STRINGS?
TOO CLOSE AND THIS CAN HAPPEN

caps lock? lol. hmmm...I may have lowered the action to try and make the sustain a wee bit better but at the minute the strings are above the pickups by about 3mm or so. What would be an ample measurement?

i think 3mm should be ok, i`ve found that you get better sustain from a
slightly higher action. there seems to be a wee sweet spot with most rg/jems etc thats slightly higher than you`d think and all of a sudden the guitar sounds much better...you soon get used to a tiny increase in action height anyway....and yeah caps lock, new keyboard now lol !!
