A cat . I just want to sleep , eat , and be cuddled <| sep |> Some fucks have pressed with px 1 or the like . Pretty rare as people usually noticefind out , but it does happen . The reputable dudes dont fuck around with that bs tho , more money to be made with a legit product in the long haul <| sep |> You ' re fine . Tough things , guitars . They can take a lot of grief . However , if the bridge isn ' t parallel to the body , you ' d probably benefit from tightening the trem springs a little until at a time until you get the tail down . Use a # 2 Phillips screwdriver to turn each of the two screws 12 turn , then retune . Repeat until the bridge is level . Here ' s why I say that if the string pull is equally balanced with the spring tension , all the force is on a vector that doesn ' t lift the tail when you bend a note . If the tail of the trem moves up when you bend a note , the other strings all lose tension and their pitch goes down . This is a common issue on Floyd Rose bridges as well . Some find the effect undesirable . Nonetheless , if you ' ve set up the guitar so all the fiddlybits are in the right places , go for it ! If you can ' t break it by sticking a 10 metal bar in a hole and wagging it like a dog ' s tail while you wrap your hand around its neck and squeeze , there ' s nothing you could do with your hand that won ' t wash off with soap water . It ' s your guitar , and this is how you play . Go nuts , and don ' t EVER apologize to anyone but yourself for your style .
