    Yeah with the raised middle it should be even higher… maybe the heavier strings are just too much for the piece… I’ll have to email them and see it maybe it’s defective and I could get another one sent to me or something.

    Any pics you’ve got would help me out.

    Thanks a lot for the help so far!

    I just measured it and it’s exactly 4mm (aprox 1/8″) above the pickguard.
    This trem, like yours was ordered from Allparts.
    I’m not looking to do any kind of dive bombs or crazy stuff, I know the amount of movement I’ll get from it is minimal. However I didn’t expect it to be that minimal haha.

    Please let me where your trem arm sits, and if the piece (where the strings are hooked in) sits fairly level or if it’s angled towards the nut or the body. Cause mine as you can see in the pics is pulled up/forward a lot.

    here are some pics of the way the bridge looks when the guitar is tuned to 440 pitch. It may be hard to see but the bar is almost touching the pickguard on the guitar it floats maybe 1/4″ and that’s it.

    I’m probably stringing it up in a wrong order or something… I appreciate the help. I’ll also mention I use heavy gauge strings but I don’t think that’ll make that much of a difference.

    Thanks very much
