So, the trem on my new OLP is REALLY difficult to move. It takes a lot of force to push the bar down. I'm guessing it's something to do with the tension of the springs. (I think there's only 2)

Anyone know what I could do to alleviate this?

They say more people will come if we say guitar. Guitar.

Just a bit though.

I was thinking about doing that. I don't even know how tight the springs are set, I haven't opened the guitar up yet.

Sean: Well, when they're ready to come do something about it, let me know. Dan, you can't go around making everyone happy, and you can't keep all your opinions to yourself. Speak your mind man. Mar 23, 2014 22:03:47 GMT

Samb1011: I won't jump in but isn't saying that the french run away from a fight the same as saying americans are stupid for driving on the wrong side of the road? This is something people do, mess with other people Mar 25, 2014 1:43:42 GMT

balbrecht: So I was working on a guitar for a friend. (It's a Fender acoustic. Something you'd get in one of those packages with a bag and music and stuff.) I was putting on some new strings, and I broke a bridge pin. Mar 29, 2014 22:13:46 GMT
