Wondering if I can lower overall action using the two posts while under tension/tuned up? Or should I detune all the strings first, then adjust the two posts for desired height after? I did look through the manual but not noticing much for specifics other than where to adjust posts.
Realizing with some other tremolo bridges it's suggested to detune, but curious if this is different because of the ball bearings.
Just bought mine used and came with much higher action than I typically use.
I know I can adjust by each bridge saddle, but would like to get the overall hieght down first.
Two other questions as well. I'd like to try a heavier gauge string (10-46) and wondering if I need a different zero fret so the strings won't sit too high.
Also, would like to order a different pickgaurd for my Expert if possible. Like the turqoise color I saw ina pic online. Want to load up a second guard with Dimarzio noiseless pickups (my Vigier has the Ambers) which are my main ones in all my strats, but want to still have the original guard intact in case I want to go back to it.
thank you
