Re: Trem angle issue


Get an allen key (hex wrench) to fit the trem posts and turn them to get the height balanced. Clockwise lowers the post. I don't recommend doing this with tension on the strings as it will grind down your knife edges and posts - you should grease these contact points with heavy bearing grease if possible - it will make them last much longer.

Re: Trem angle issue


Where the knife edges meet the trem posts and where the strings touch the saddles - grease these to help tuning stability and reduce wear.
