Hi!
I am an idiot.
(pause)
I tried to change my strings on the Ibanez S7320 last night, and I epic failed... which caused my double's dash with bjkmenu to have to restart with only 50 minutes left, and I think I messed up the tremolo beyond my comprehension for fixing it. I wobbled it a good bit and I think I got everything back to where it goes, but now when I press the whammy bar, it has a little type of grind as if it is catching on something, or it's not as tight as it should be? It's also bending the note faster than it used to but also not bending as far. So like it'll drop a whole step really fast but beyond that, not as much.
I've got all the screws conbiobulated, which is my word for messed up and I don't know how to set it right. I tried to replace the strings, which included chopping off the bottoms and pinching them into the holes. The high E string popped out twice, and just would not stay in that hole to save its life. I spent a good 10 minutes trying to tune it, but the strings will not stay in tune. I tried to get them as close as I could then lock them down with the lockers near the headstock. But it's not good enough. I also re-screwed the tremolo in the body after this to get the strings to the correct height off of the fretboard so that they don't buzz when I play them. Of course the low B buzzes a little but it did that before. Now they're all out of tune again.
If anyone knows what I did to completely destroy this guitar, please let me know. I'm starting to think I will have to take it to a professional to get it fixed.
