Hey guys!
The other guitar player in my band recently got an RG7620VK. When he got it, it had the trem blocked, two springs in the back, and slightly high action. He wanted the trem unblocked, another spring, and lower action, so he let me work on it. I've done all of these adjustments on my Dillion's Floyd with no problems at all. So first, i added another spring { i'm not sure where the spring came from...i think it came from one of my Dillions. It seemed to fit just fine, though} to the back, then unblocked the trem. The angle of the trem was a bit too high, so i loosened the strings, and screwed the
claw screws in a bit. Tuned back up to pitch, and the anlge hadn't changed too much, so detuned and screwed them in more. I had to screw the claw screws in to the point of where there's no threads showing on the screws to get the trem to sit correctly. By the way, he uses gauges 9-54 { 52? } on this guitar. After the angle was good, i got to work on the action. It was fine on the lower end of the neck, but the
upper frets needed to be lower. So, i raised the posts a little to release the set screws, unscrewed the set screws, and lowered the posts a bit. After the action felt good, i screwed the set screws back in. The guitar felt great, except for an odd buzzing on the 1st fret high e string that appeared after i lowered the bridge. Odd.
So, my friend took the guitar home that night and played it, he loved the new setup. The next morning, he woke up and..... the bridge was raised EXTREMELY high off the body, and the action was equally as high! He detuned and reblocked the trem.
What happened, and how can i fix it?!?!?
Please help!
