There are a number of factors such as tension versus string diameter (ie - .09's or .10's), how many springs (I believe I saw this one came with a spare spring. Once the right tension is struck and the bridge balances (floats), you're all good. Newness of strings is important too ut you'd said you've played it for a good few hours.

You may still want to each of your strings a tug to stretch them. Just be careful to not tug too hard.

A good set up tech should be able to get this done for you.



they are .10's setup with the original springs. haven't added or subtracted any.
