I use .010 -.046 strings, bend up full step, and don’t use the whammy bar. At the moment the trem is unblocked, has 3 springs, and is about 1/8“ off the deck. As I said in the thread title, when I bend a string or 2 the others detune to where I can’t play a chord that’s in tune. I really don’t want to block the trem. To stiffen it up I suppose I need to add 2 more springs. However, I don’t want the action to change up or down and still want the trem an 1/8” off the deck. So when I fit the 2 extra springs do I just adjust the claw to compensate for the change in action? I’d hate to have to adjust the height of the individual saddles………...Will the trem then be stiff enough that string bending will not detune the other strings?
Thanks.
