When I upped my string guage (years ago) on my 1527, I had to add a fourth spring to get the tension right.
The only problem is that to do this, I can't use the locking plate that screws in over the spring ends on the trem block.
So when I remove the strings for replacement/neck cleaning and oiling, the bridge sproings off the posts (and has chipped the paint!!) and it's a pain when restringing again.
Are there shorter/stiffer springs I can get in the UK to get back down to 3 springs so I can fit the plate, or will having 2 of the 3 springs at an angle do the trick?
Just a little something to make life a bit easier....
