hey,
just wondering what gauge of string you all use with your FR bridge guitars. i have a jackson dk2s and i changed the factory strings (9-42) and set up the bridge to 10-46s buy adding a fourth spring and adjusting the claw. i also managed to lower the action to 2mm at the base end and 1.8mm at the treble end. it seems to play quite nicely and it stays in tune so much better now that the bridge is at the correct angle (when i got it the bridge pulled down slightly)

im worried because i havent adjust the truss because im not sure how to and i dont want to damage the guitar.

would there be to much tension in the neck because i added a fourth spring and put 10-46s on?

what gauge of strings do you all use on your FR bridge guitars and how are they set up?

thanks guys

Unless you're getting buzzing in the upper frets you don't have to worry about the truss rod.
