The strings on my guitar seem to be very high (as opposed to my other guitars) and I was wondering if there's any fixes I can do for it? I have uploaded pictures of each areas I think may be relevant on the links. Also, my saddle seems to not be very adjustable, due to the string lock screws being too long? Any help is very much appreciated :)

There are many factors that have to do with sting height. You should start by looking at your neck. If it's too bowed, your stings will be too high. If it's got a back bow, your strings will be too low. Once that is set correctly, you can deal with your bridge. You'll have to adjust the action with the two allen screws on the sides that go into the body. The saddles are adjusted for intonation with the smaller screws that go into the plate. If you are in any of the areas where we offer our COMPLETE Guitar Repair & Set-Up Clinic, it's definitely worth the money. We go over all kids of guitars and can give you some real good tips about the Floyd Rose bridges so you won't have to pay extra if you take it in for service.
