Ok I went to my local guitar store, picked up 4 springs, came home, took out the old, put in the new, and it works perfectly, but at the guitar store the salesperson mentioned something about haveing to adjust the bridge. I don't quite know what he means, did he mean those two screws that adjust the springs? cause I already have that set up right, or do I need to adjust the saddles or something for intonation? if so how do I do that? and thanks for all your help guys! to think $8 was all it took... and I was searching this forum and found several other posts about people having the same problem with ibanez. I guess ibanez's stock springs are just pieces of crap.
